an-array-of-catalan-words

English · Català

List of ~869,500 Catalan words.

Derived from the Softcatalà Hunspell dictionaries, processed and filtered to include only clean alphabetic words using the Catalan character set ([a-zçàèéíïòóúü]) that contain at least one vowel. Acronyms, abbreviations, and proper nouns are explicitly excluded.

Inspired by the architecture of an-array-of-english-words by Zeke Sikelianos.
