also, 14% is twice as big as 28%. looks like a printing error where the labels were reversed. flip them and the proportions are correct

 super useful, thank you for that also some people in the replies are saying "how does zed (British English Z) have only one syllable?" and apparently I don't know what a syllable is.

It took me a while to really grasp what a syllable was, because the way I was taught it wasn't very good, and the idea that syllables can actually be quite long and complex as long as they form one "beat" of speech, as it were, was never really covered. e.g I would probably have tried to break the word "spine" into multiple syllables though now I would say it is one syllable.

Syllables in English are the second worst thing about the language, and it's not surprising it's so related to pronunciation.
