Looks ok to me (ignoring one or two irrelevant diphthong issues) and the result is interesting. As I mentioned, some time ago I claimed here that Spanish was spoken much more quickly than English because there were more syllables to get through, but nobody seemed to agree. At the time I was unable to quantify the difference. Thanks for that.
