help me and my co-worker settle a disagreement (a deceptively challenging question inside)

Work done here In the neighborhood of 38 to 62 percent in favor of consonants.

I've already done the math on the first link there

In the second link it mentions about the ratio being close to the 'golden ratio'. I wondered about that in the link that I posted, but though it too geeky to mention.
I wonder if this is true for different languages?
Anyone have any stats on vowel frequency for languages other than English?

Consonants. I went through a prety small dictionary I have, and there were about 190,000 vowels in it. There were about 310,000 consonants.

Very nice, interesting link.
The original question was, however, about usage in English.

I see you didn't read the thread any more carefully than I did. I answered the 'English' part or re-answered it a ways back.
