Graphical law beneath each written natural language

Abstract

We study twenty four written natural languages. We draw in the log scale, number of words starting with a letter vs rank of the letter, both normalised. We find that all the graphs are of the similar type. The graphs are tantalisingly closer to the curves of reduced magnetisation vs reduced temperature for magnetic materials. We make a weak conjecture that a curve of magnetisation underlies a written natural language.
