English Germanic vs Latin Origin Percent Estimate
Observed caller independently etymologized token shares, unknowns retained; does not infer word origins from spellings or offer a universal English percentage.
Description
English Germanic vs Latin Origin Percent Estimate: return germanic percent, latinate percent, unknown percent.
An origin percentage for a text depends on which tokens were counted and how their origins were assigned. Unknown origins need their own category.
This tool returns germanic percent, latinate percent, unknown percent. Use the stated units and model convention when interpreting these fields.
When to use this tool
Use this tool when the supplied inputs match the specific operation described above and you need a repeatable result under its stated convention.
- Check the supported input and output contract against an existing calculation or observation.
- Use the complete example to confirm units, selector spelling and result interpretation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter every field in the input table using the stated units and the exact supported selector spelling where applicable.
- Run the tool. Correct input errors before interpreting an output.
- Read the result fields below; use accompanying flags and the stated sign, boundary or model convention when interpreting a number.
Require bounded nonnegative integer counts and a positive total. Divide each of the Germanic, Latinate and unknown counts by the total and multiply by 100.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| germanicOriginTokens | Germanic origin tokens. | Finite number; greater than zero |
| latinateOriginTokens | Latinate origin tokens. | Finite number |
| unknownOriginTokens | Unknown origin tokens. | Finite number |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the following named result fields. |
| result.germanicPercent | Germanic percent; use the stated units and sign convention. |
| result.latinatePercent | Latinate percent; use the stated units and sign convention. |
| result.unknownPercent | Unknown percent; use the stated units and sign convention. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The tool does not classify etymologies, tokenize text or describe the composition of English as a whole.
- Every declared field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; input errors are distinct from a valid false result or an explicitly qualified output.
- Extremely large inputs and nonfinite or excessively large outputs are rejected. List positions reported by the tool use zero-based indices unless stated otherwise.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the underlying observations, units and conventions independently before using the result in a larger workflow. The tools listed below address nearby tasks; compare their inputs and scope before substituting one for this operation.
