The thing is german you can invent Words that are perfectly accepted that aren’t in the dictionary simply by combining words. So I think technically German would be much higher if you counted all the possible usable words

That's the same with French and English wdym but way more so French way less for English
Nah fam German is infinite there is no limit to the ridiculous compound words you can create
@@TomTheNuke the german language can create way more words this way than english, mostly because of the fact the there are male, female, sometimes even a third or more because of the way the words in germany are used.

I'm a native Korean, and I didn't knew that there are so many words. I only think that It's because Korean has 3 types of words: originally generated, from chinese character, and from other languages. And those types have no obstacles for combining.
English has the most words not Korean.
Source of the video: trust me
@@ptm3993 In wikipedia, Korean has most words but it actually was sum of South Korean and North Korean. So, in some cases, It is acceptable that English has most words. Additionaly, Agglutinative languages like Korean, Japanese, part of German, can't exactly count words cuz they can make words infinitely adding affixes or, in Korean, adverbs to adverbs and affixes as well.
Also this list is missing a lot of language that has more words than English.
근하하하
and it’s probably because of all the different accents
Korean is mostly due to the fact that almost every single word can have tons of different suffixes added to it in tons of different ways
I am not going to bother learn Korean !too many words but i want to learn it : i don t know what to do
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.
@@createyourownfuture5410 even I thought Sanskrit will be at the top 🤌👀
So it's just a different version of English?
@@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.

Finnish language is fun! Its wording is fascinating, like that word that was trending few years back - KALSARIKÄNNIT.
Some languages split words into phrases, while others (like English) make a new word.
For instance, in order to get 500k English words, they are counting words like _run, running, ran_ all as different words. While another language may just have one word for run, and they add a modifier word to change the tense.
In English we also use lots of words from other languages, these words are known as Loanwords and so if you count those im sure the count would be even higher.
Words like: Kindergarten, Paparazzi, Restaurant, Karaoke, Cul-de-sac… etc.

more than 3 million if we just isolate modern standard Arabic.

@@Styl4x As someone who studies both German and Latin, the words aren't that similar, but the grammar is. When I'm studying German, there are a lot of things in the grammar I recognize because I also learnt them in Latin.
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)

Same with German. Also every Latin languages have most of their words with a main roots and something like 4/5 variations of it.

Just paused the video and found the word "dick" in german
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?
Say it louder for the ppl in the back
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.
Fun fact: Arabic language has about 12 millions words, the numbers in the video from the Wikipedia were token from one old dictionary
True, also there is no way english having more words than any slavic or asian language

Fun fact: "word" has no unique definition. It's specially hard given that some languages (agglutinating languages) can basically create new words all the time by joining particles. 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.

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.
Also word "nietos" in Finnish can be translated to the English word snow
Mom : slash kurkku for your dad
Son : ok
Dad 💀
Tuisku is more like snow storm, but yes.
And becayse each subjective has so many different versions: lumi, lumelle, lumesta etc.

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.
@@alexanderwikstrom6122 Nej, de här listorna räknar alltid bara antal ord i ordlistor etc. Tennisarmbåge är definitivt inte ett ord i ordlistan. Svenska har en nästan oändlig mängd möjliga ord om man räknar med sammansatta ord sådär, mycket mer än 600000.

Bro tamil is not 2600 years old its very much older than any other language literally , tamil language can create many thousands of new words with its sweet and valour way of speaking it .Only tamilans knows the history of tamil very well ,tamilans created sangam and developed the language in madurai which is now under ocean .

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.

Disinformation
@elitestalker8636 well Sanskrit dictionary has 102.78 billion words 🤔
@elitestalker8636 some even say it has infinite words
@ultranoob716 That is impossible. If the dictionary lists all of them, and writes 1 word per second, the book would take 3200 years to write. The things you are saying are completely misleading.
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.

As an Englishman I can humbly say our language is so confusing with the amount of words that are the same sound but different spelling
finnish has so much of thosr
@@litthowius1162 Not really. There are no finnish words that are sound identical but are spelt different. However, there are quite a few words with multiple unrelated meanings (a popular example being "kuusi" which can mean either "six", "spruce" or "your moon")
@@cybermang878 oh i misunderstood it i thought he was talking about synonyms and finnish has a lot of those
@@cybermang878 for example word bear = karhu which has a lot of synonyms: otso, mesikämmen, nalle, metsänkuningas, könsikäs
@@litthowius1162 No worries
The problem is that there is no universal way to count words in all languages because different languages have different grammars and different definitions of what they considers a word and what isn’t, which did Arabic language nasty in this, even tho it is very descriptive language and one of the widest in term of meanings, but hey in the end of the day, those are all just numbers and doesn’t make any language less than the other.
Meanwhile sanskrit with 102.72 billion words💀
Misleading data. The data obviously shows the count of all forms of any single radical. Languages with complex (and often obsolete) conjugations for example are arbitrarily boosted
How is that misleading? They are still separate words. "Run" "ran" and "running" are not the same word even though they are the present, perfect, and gerundive version of the same concept. It's only misleading if you think that every concept should only be represented by a single word
They didn't include latin, a language that would be at the top of the list as it currently is due to all the conjugations and declensions. Native american languages like Navajo would blow everyone out of the water
Yes just like German and Arabic
@@TheBacknblack92 It is misleading because everyone in this comment section thinks that the higher the language is in the list the more words you need to learn, which is not true.
there’s a lot of different ways to say phrases like “thank you”. along with that, korean has hanja words which are from chinese, and there’s korean accents (which i think would count as different words). some korean accents are so different that it seems like a whole different language.
Same with Arabic. But they didn't count that as extra words. Either Korean had a lot of words, or they didn't count other dialects with other languages
Fun fact: To be able to read and understand the average Chinese newspaper, u require to know 3500 characters.😨
That's not true at all. 3k represents 99.6% and 5k is 99.99% based on usage frequency. You could easily get by with 2.5k especially with context and knowing radicals.
A HSK 6 exam represents the highest level of Chinese exam. It is said you need to know about 2.5k characters to pass that. Someone with HSK 6 can have entire conversations in Chinese and easily read newspapers.
In other words, what you just said is total bs
@@ibidthewriter Sorry, I added an extra zero in there by mistake
And I remember you need to know around 2000 kanji to read a Japanese newspaper (so minus the katakana and hiragana).

@@EmanFatima099 I agree its easier to read and write but idk what I’m reading
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).
