Scroll half-way through the page, look on the right side: 1,000 most
frequent words for several languages.


Hmm. I'm not sure how valuable that is. For English "los" and "angeles" are ranked 99 and 101 respectively and "officials" comes in at 125. Obviously I'm guessing, but those middle ranking words have come from a slightly skewed source -- newspapers in a fixed interval perhaps. (I don't think "Los Angeles" makes it into every day parlance in the UK, and "officials" suggests that we're obsessed with beauracracy :-))
