World Loanword Database

The World Loanword Database is a research resource that catalogs words borrowed from one language into another across different cultures and regions. It helps linguists and researchers understand how languages influence each other through trade, colonization, or cultural contact. By analyzing these borrowed words, the database reveals patterns of historical interactions and cultural exchanges worldwide. It provides detailed information about the origin, adoption, and adaptation of loanwords, making it a valuable tool for studying language evolution and the dynamics of human communication across diverse societies.
