Catalan predictive text or dictionary

[cyril]

The thing is that for the other languages, someone helped me finding word frequency information (which is an absolute requirement), and I don't have this for Catalan. Otherwise I would be happy to create this dictionary.

Have you tried it the links I posted it? those are already built Catalan diciotnaries... otherwise I'll try to see what can I do...

[cyril]

Yes, I had a look and they all seem to be only unsorted word lists.

Hi!

I got two dictionaries sorted by word usage... I'm a linguist and I made it out myself out of a Corpus with some 500.000 words.

I attach you 2 links as I can see I can't upload txt files.

One file "Catalan_gross" is the full file with some 500.000 words... and the other one is a "clean" file with no repetitions, no punctuation marks, so on... let me know about it, please...

thanks!
David

Ok thanks for the files. Here is a first version of the dictionary, let me know if you see problems before I publish it on the market. I had to remove duplicate words (I remove upper case words if there is an equivalent lower case word) and the numbers at the end, but some irrelevant words may remain.

Hi! Cyril!

So far it works great!!!! Let me explain you: the dictionary was made out of a Corpus withdrawn from newspapers and there are many names and last names. They can easily be identified because their first letter is capìtal and because some names are easy to tell even though you do not speak Catalan, furthermore, some are Spanish names or belonging to other languages... what do you think, do you leave them? or remove them? what is best? what is easiest for you?

You've done a great job, your keyboard works great and I'm happy with the purchase and even happier for my cooperation
