Entropic Evidence for Linguistic Structure in the Indus Script
Rajesh P. N. Rao, Nisha Yadav, Mayank N. Vahia et al., 2009. Science.
Argues that the undeciphered Indus script encodes language, because its conditional entropy falls closer to natural languages than to several non-linguistic sign systems.
What it's used for here
The surveys cite it as a case where a single statistic was made to carry a whole conclusion; its entropy argument is already covered by the project's entropy profile.
