Wordlists
Word lists are an invaluable tool for creating your own languages. Here
are some of the best.
- Dublex Word Menu - This list
contains the 400 most productive roots; these 400 were carefully researched
over several years of langmaking and have been used to generate tens
of thousands of words. This is the best place to start, because you
will be able to use these roots again and again as you coin new words
for your language.
- Universal Language Dictionary
- For the more ambitious, the ULD offers over a thousand roots with
side-by-side comparisons to English, Dutch, German, Esperanto, Tsolyani
and other languages. In fact, LangMaker.com has licensed the ULD and
bundled it with LangMaker/Win for easy word-generation.
- Fantasy LEX file - At long last,
a lexicon suitable for creating your own fantasy languages! Compiled
by Duncan Duchovy for use with LangMaker/Win
for easy word-generation.
- Latin & Latin
LEX file - Useful for creating your own Romance languages, though
you'll have to ignore long vowels (they're not marked - care to volunteer?).
Also thanks to Duncan Duchovy.
- Swadesh LEX file - The core words
used to compare the time elapsed between a daughter language and its
parent, used in glottochronology, the "carbon dating" of languages
- Roxhai - A schematic vocabulary.
- Basic English - The subset of
English used in the controlled language called Basic English. Less useful
in language building, due to the polysemy (many meanings) of each word
listed.
