      If that's the case then Sanskrit should be on top, I mean I study it and can tell that so far I have seen that every noun has at least 27 conjugations, along with every pronoun. For example, his has 27 conjugations, it is the same for her and it. Also every verb has more than 90 conjugations, and that is after ignoring words like after _ or to _. Also there are 10 tenses and 3 numbers.

      @vidhanp482 2 года назад +12

      @@createyourownfuture5410 but thats the exact reason why korean has more. Sanskrit is an analytic language that uses conjugations on a limited number of verbs and pronouns. Korean is agglutinative which means you can add a lot of suffixes and prefixes to make entire sentences into a word or completely change the tense, meaning or connotations of the word. Korean also doesn't require a subject so each verb can be further modified to indicate a subject tho its often left to context. So much modification of a single word for not only tense cases but accusative, possessive and general cases gives Korean so many words and variations.
      Compared to sanskrit which depends on very conjugations and subject markers. Korean also has a lot of words because its a modern language with lots and lots of loan words. Actually one of the most loan words in the world from Chinese, Japanese and English.
      Sanskrit is a much older language that remained pure and unchanged for a long time, a lot of words we know today exclude those that are either lost or unused. There are also less words because back then they didn't have as many stuff and concepts as we do today and they didn't need that many words to describe the world around them.

    This is probably inaccurate because it's possible to count the number of words one can have in a dictionary but not the number of words of any given language, especially for agglutinative languages like Filipino, Korean and Japanese. Agglutination is the process of forming words by combining morphemes, usually affixes. Because words can be so easily formed in these languages by combining words or adding affixes, it also depends on the deciding body of that language if certain words will be included in that language's dictionary or not. For example, Filipino is my mother tongue and due to the archipelagic nature and colonial history of my country, we have many borrowed words from other Filipino languages, Spanish and English despite Filipino mostly being based on Tagalog. The question is whether the dictionary this list pulled information from chose a dictionary that listed words of purely Tagalog origin OR whether they included loanwords and are recently updated (language documentation in my country is not very well executed unfortunately)

    This is a hugely common misconception that we have to deal with in linguistics: that languages very significantly in number of words. The short answer is that yes languages can have vocabularies that are larger in the sense of the academic authorities of the language include a large amount of entries as words of that languages, this is artificial and not a “characteristic” of any language, it’s rather that some languages have been tied to cultures of writing who have been able to amass large lexicons.
    This is largely irrelevant however when we look at the practical sense of vocabulary. All spoken languages have the sufficient vocabulary to express what is necessary to express by the culture who speaks that language and on average a native speaker uses 5,000 unique common words and with varying levels of education that can move up to 15,000.
    We are all limited by our memories, both working and long term. It is impossible to know all of the words that these academics have arbitrarily included in the lexicon so in that light the question is pretty much irrelevant. I could easily include words from old English in modern English and then say that we have the biggest lexicon, a similar thing was done with Chinese and Arabic and Icelandic, but does that really change anything if not only nominally?

      This makes total sense. Assuming the average memory of humans is the same across nations, then there should be a relatively equal upper limit to commonly used vocabulary.
      If a language lacks a word or phrase that otherwise would be used by people, people are going to make/borrow one in a hurry (making a lower limit as well).
      Which leads to the conclusion that all languages probably have similar functional vocabulary, in terms of words/phrases that convey a unique meaning.

This comparison of the amount of words in different languages is kind of arbitrary, as it varies WIDELY depending on the metrics used. So this is practically meaningless, and it definitely doesn't mean anything about how "difficult" a language is.

    One of the reasons Dutch is so high up (400,000 words) is because in Dutch instead of making a sentence to describe something you combine other, more basic words to make a larger word. In English a 15 letter word would probably only used for some obscure scientific concept, in Dutch 15 letter words are perfectly normal and acceptable.

    The greek language has now 600.000 words. The 200.000 was actually an estimation made in 1964 by Prof. Dimitris Dimitrakos, but it does not correspond in reality. If we take into account all the different types and dialects the number would rise to some millions, given that a an adjective have 3 genders, 2 singular and plural and 4 inclinations and that a verb can take a hundred forms.As in German, greek can combine different words to make new ones, that are not in dictionaries.

    Finnish is nice language where one word can mean two totally different things like kurkku means cucumber and throat. On the other hand, we have multiple words for one meaning. Lumi, tuisku, pyry, kinos and more all translate to snow in English. Then we can make one simple word to an other just by adding few letters to the word like kirja (book) turns into kirjassa (in a book). And let's not get deeper to the grammar because we would be here for a long time. So yes. It is hard language to learn.

It's also strange because swedish doesn't have a complicated conjugation system like other languages that are high on the list. I assume it's high because of the amount of old words in swedish that more or less have been replaced by speakers in the past centuries.

    There’s probably a mistake with the source he got for Arabic words since from the most conservative sources and studies they put arabic at around 12 million words or more
    A reason for that roots from the time of ancient arabs that have prized themselves with language and poetry and one’s strength in the Arabic language was a symbol of knowledge and status, so it contains a plethora of varied words that when put in comparison to english would be more easier to see why it is the case
    A Lion *in english* , could be called or rather referred to as a leo, feline or big cat if you’d consider those as a name for lions, *the arabic language has over 300+ exclusive names for a lion* and this compares even daily to less-varied words like the word *“run”* which *in english it has 9 synonyms* like “dash, sprint, scurry…etc” and in the *Arabic* language there are *around 20 words* , so almost *double of english*
    So appreciate the person who took to the effort to make the visual comparison but hope he gets to authenticate his sources better next time

      I learned Hangul (Korean alphabet) in an hour. It’s surprisingly easy and once you can read it, even if you don’t know what it means, it’s easier to recognize the words you DO know, understand Konglish words (computer is 컴퓨터, which romanticized is keompyuteo and sounds extremely similar), and look up words using a voice-to-text translation (though this could be better).

      There are around 2200 dhatus in Sanskrit and an infinite number of words can be constructed effectively by adding prefixes and suffixes to these Dhatus. Furthermore, each Sanskrit word carries information such as gender, quantity, and tense.
