The files in the Crubadan subdirectory tree have been derived from the
trigram frequency data released by Kevin Scannell, primarily by
renaming, adding MkLangID directives, and truncating the
lowest-frequency trigrams.  As such, these files (unlike the remainder
of the LA-Strings package) may be redistributed under the GPL v3
*or*later*, rather than GPL v3 *only*.

This directory contains 3-gram frequencies for 449 writing systems 
gathered by the web crawler "An Crúbadán", as of 11 April 2010.
See http://borel.slu.edu/crubadan/ for more information.

The web crawler works at the level of "writing systems" vs. "languages",
so for example Serbian Cyrillic and Serbian Latin are treated
separately, as are Portuguese as spoken in Brazil vs. Portugal, etc.
The 3-gram files are named using 2- or 3-letter "writing system codes"
that were never intended to be exposed to the outside world.
We are working on establishing a mapping between our codes and
the writing systems laid out in Oliver Streiter's XNL-RDF database.  

The file table.txt lists all 449 writing systems.  The first column
contains the internal Crúbadán code, the second column contains the
ISO 639-3 code for the language represented by the writing system, and
the third column is an English language description.
