I wouldn't force Russian to the Roman alphabet, because it already has one. Japanese, Chinese don't even use an alphabet. One character can mean a whole word.
So okay, let's exclude Japanese and Chinese from the statistics. The point is not to find flaws in this method - it has plenty - but to get a semi-reliable result with a quite big sample. If we can achieve that, we can talk about improvements.
