Textual efficiency

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Textual efficiency refers to the measure of time or resource used for a task (in this case, the text of a language). Some languages have more efficient text than others, although, comparing long texts of two languages is more reliable than a short text, in determining the textual efficiency.

Example:

English: Hi

Spanish: Hola

This shows English to have the more efficient text, as well as one less syllable, in this particular instance.
