Hey everyone, Sennin doesn't have time to update the "dictionary" very often so I offered to take up the mantle. I copied and pasted it and added the new words. I'll update it at least once a week, probably more because, as you may know, I have no life and am always here. For now this dictionary comprises pages 1-85 AND 90,91.

I decided to compile a dictionary based on formiko's Alphabet Game.Below is a language by language break-up.


Major languages in the game: French (121), Romanian (100), German (64), Spanish (51), Japanese (37), Dutch (18), Esperanto (17), Polish (17), Italian (16), Portuguese (15), Latin (15), Kazakh (14)

Less than a dozen words:   Vietnamese (11), Russian (11), Tagalog (11), Thai (10), Persian (9), Turkish (9), Bulgarian (8), Danish (8), Slovak (7), Swahili (7), Chinese (Mandarin) (7), Indonesian (5), Greek (5), Yoruba (5), Igbo (5), Bemba (4), Cherokee (4), Hindi (4), Swedish (4), Hausa (3), Finnish (3), Wolof (3), Xhosa (3), Burmese (3), Icelandic (3), Yucatec Maya (3), Twi (3), Khmer (3), Arabic (2), Catalan (2), Czech (2), Farsi (2), Norwegian (2), Cornish (2), Slovenian (2), Hungarian (2)

Only one word: Armenian (1), Azeri (1), Dzongkha (1), Estonian (1), Hebrew (1), Korean (1), Lao (1), Lingala (1), Maltese (1), Maori (1), Mayan (1), Occitan (1), Polish (1), Samoan (1), Swazi (1), Uzbek (1), Wessex Middle English (1), Yiddish (1), Zulu (1)

I was not able to transfer the words that use complex scripts (probably about ~50 words ) so these are presented only as phonetic transcriptions. Cyrillic, Latin (with all diacritics) and Greek scripts are intact.

If somebody is enthusiastic enough, the written form for languages such as Japanese can be recovered. Just give the proper translation for some of the words in the language that interests you. I can't bother to go through the Alphabet Game again but if I have them here it will be easy to update the dictionary.

- Thanks turaisiawase, for giving all the Kanji for the Japanese words;
- Mandarin, Persian, etc. are still missing;

I'd like to note that since I'm keeping track of how many words are in each language, it could be like a little side game to see which languages were winning so far, as far as number of words contributed goes. No posting like 5 words all in one post tho!;)

UPDATE: French has broken the 100 mark. Polish and Esperanto are now tied, if anyone is rooting for either of these langs. Also, Danish, Greek and Tagalog have broken out of the "one word only" section and Korean has been added to the game!
