Description: I run a significance test on Swadesh-lists representing Turkish, Mongolian and Manchu to see if there are regular patterns of similarities or correspondences among wordinitial phonemes in the core vocabulary that cannot be expected to arise by chance. The methodology employed draws from Oswalt (1970), Ringe (1992), Baxter & Ramer (2000) and Kessler (2007).
