In addition to frequency lists for English, we also have what we believe are the most accurate frequency lists for Spanish and Portuguese. Both frequency lists contain the top 20,000 lemmas / words in the language. The Spanish data is based on the 20 million words from the 1900s in the 100 million word Corpus del Español, and the Portuguese data is based on the 20 million words from the 1900s in the 45 million word Corpus do Português. In both cases, these are the only corpora that are: 1) large 2) balanced across genres (spoken, fiction, newspaper, academic), and 3) which are accurately tagged for part of speech and lemma (which is necessary to create a frequency dictionary).

The data is available in a number of formats. Click on the links for sample files. To order, see the information at the end of this page.
