 note = {This paper simply presents several statistical data concerning character use in the text written in different languages. They are 1) frequency table of alphabet use, 2) distribution of word length, 3) distribution of sentence length measured by mumber of words used in the sentence, and 4) digram of alphabet connection.
Main object of this work is to make statistical comparison between English and
Melanesian languages such as Pijin, Fijian, Bislama, and ARE'ARE.
Sample texts used for analysis are obtained from Fiji and Solomon islands when
the second scientific survey group of the south pacific, organized by the Kagoshima
University Research Center for the south pacific, visited to their island in 1982.
The solomon Pijin is not used for writing purpose but used for spoken purpose.
Therefore character use has not so much meaningfull. But nowaday there are appearing
newspapers and textbooks which are written in Pijin or Fijian etc., so that written from
of their languages are becoming popular in Islands.},
