    Which language provides the most random alphabetically sorted sequence?

    Data
    | Base | English | Dutch | German | Turkish |
    |------+---------+-------+--------+---------|
    |    1 |       8 |     8 |      8 |       6 |
    |    2 |      11 |     3 |      3 |       5 |
    |    3 |       5 |     1 |      1 |       1 |
    |    4 |       4 |    11 |     11 |       9 |
    |    5 |       9 |     9 |      5 |       4 |
    |    6 |       1 |    10 |      9 |       2 |
    |    7 |       7 |    12 |      6 |      10 |
    |    8 |       6 |     2 |      7 |      11 |
    |    9 |      10 |     4 |      4 |      12 |
    |   10 |       3 |     5 |     10 |       8 |
    |   11 |      12 |     6 |      2 |       3 |
    |   12 |       2 |     7 |     12 |       7 |
    

    Sourced from comments in thread (English from image, Dutch from Vinny93, German from TJA, Turkish from some rando)

    Plot with Pearson Score
    Code
    gnuplot -p -e '
      set xlabel "Base Sequence";
      set ylabel "Alphabetic";
      set xtics 1,1,12;
      set ytics 1,1,12;
      set title "Alphabetic Number Plot with Correlation Score";
      stats "alphabetic.tab" using 1:2 name "E";
      stats "" using 1:3 name "D";
      stats "" using 1:4 name "G";
      stats "" using 1:5 name "T";
      plot "" using 1:2 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(2), E_correlation),
           "" using 1:3 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(3), D_correlation),
           "" using 1:4 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(4), G_correlation),
           "" using 1:5 with lines title sprintf("%s (%.3f)", columnhead(5), T_correlation)
    '
    

    It looks like the most random language is Dutch (closest to zero), and Turkish appears to be the least random (probably the 10,11,12 sequence skewed it)
