# List of dictionaries by number of words

This is a list of dictionaries considered authoritative or complete by approximate number of total words, or headwords, included number of words in a language. In compiling a dictionary, a lexicographer decides whether the evidence of use is sufficient to justify an entry in the dictionary. This decision is not the same as determining whether the word exists.
The green background means a given dictionary is the largest in a given language.
