FrequencyWords is a GitHub repository that provides word frequency lists for various languages. These lists are derived from subtitles and contain the most common words in each language, along with their frequency of occurrence. The project aims to assist language learners, researchers, and developers working on natural language processing tasks.

Pros

• Covers a wide range of languages (over 40)
• Provides both raw and processed word lists
• Includes frequency information for each word
• Regularly updated with new languages and improvements

Cons

• Some languages have limited word counts
• Data quality may vary depending on the source of subtitles
• Lacks advanced linguistic features (e.g., part-of-speech tagging)
• May not accurately represent formal or academic language use

Code Examples

This is not a code library, so code examples are not applicable.

Getting Started

As this is not a code library, there are no specific getting started instructions. However, users can access the word frequency lists by following these steps:

1. Visit the GitHub repository: https://github.com/hermitdave/FrequencyWords
2. Navigate to the desired language folder in the content directory
3. Download the raw text file containing the word list
4. Use the downloaded file in your project or analysis as needed

The word lists are typically formatted with one word per line, followed by its frequency count. For example:

the 23135851
of 13151942
and 12997637
to 12136980
a 9081174
in 8469404

Users can easily parse these files using standard text processing tools or programming languages of their choice.
