It was sorted out that “a, e, k, i, l, m, r, n, t, ı" were used as the top 10 commonly sounds and more than half of the texts were written utilizing these letters. It was found that the vowels made up a rate of 41.22%, and consonants a rate of 58.78%, which most of the vowels are back vowel while consonants are continuous and voiced consonant. This makes it easier to create melodies with sounds, to prolong and upgrade sounds, to compose rhythm, to emphasize intonation, to play with sounds; therefore, it promotes the learning process more enjoyable.
