Which language provides the most random alphabetically sorted sequence?

Data
| Base | English | Dutch | German | Turkish |
|------+---------+-------+--------+---------|
|    1 |       8 |     8 |      8 |       6 |
|    2 |      11 |     3 |      3 |       5 |
|    3 |       5 |     1 |      1 |       1 |
|    4 |       4 |    11 |     11 |       9 |
|    5 |       9 |     9 |      5 |       4 |
|    6 |       1 |    10 |      9 |       2 |
|    7 |       7 |    12 |      6 |      10 |

It looks like the most random language is Dutch (closest to zero), and Turkish appears to be the least random (probably the 10,11,12 sequence skewed it)
