They are listed in order of how often they appear in real English as shown by the famous Lancaster-Bergen corpus. These 50 in this order represent an incredible 87% of irregular verb occurrence in English. The other 80 irregular verbs in English make up the other 13%.

What exactly is the Lancaster-Bergen corpus?
I'd like to use this list of verbs in my class, so I'd like to know what it's origin is.
