Systems to support language study by determining word and character usage frequency must be able to analyze written words in languages that use an alphabet, known as Latin-based languages, and also in languages that use graphics, known as Sino-Tibetan language. In to determine the usage frequency from such documents, the student or teacher needs a method to determine usage frequency of each character and word. In order to determine which words are most used, a student or teacher may look to public information sources such as news services, and other written documents created in the language by native users of the language. A tool that would enable a student or teacher to determine which words are the most used in a language would allow such words to be taught and learned before less important words. Systems for compiling word usage frequencies are desirable for prioritizing words to be learned by a language student. In particular, the system for compiling word usage frequencies determines usage frequency of each word in a list of resources to guide a language student regarding which words are the most important to learn. The present invention relates to a system for compiling word usage frequencies for use in connection with language studies. This application is a continuation of application Ser.
