No natural language has different statistics on letters of the first line of paragraph. They could be decorative littera elongata standing for something else, or nulls, or optional not-too-useful gimmicks.
Ok, but generally at some point at the beginning of any paragraph (or label) the starting character in the table should be selected.
If we select the 2nd and the 3rd letters, then the distribution is remarkably close to Latin for the top three entries, but then there is a sudden drop (95 sh and 27 or). Anyway, this looks reasonably close.
Code:

217 ch

95 sh
27 or
23 od
