About these translations
The words come from Hookito’s language data, which is largely based on Wikidata. Many words have more than one translation depending on context; this list shows one common form for each language.
The flag marks one country where the language is spoken, not the only one. Spotted a mistake? Write to submissions@hookito.com.
