Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database

The Austronesian Basic Vocabulary Database or ABVD is a large database of basic vocabulary lists that mainly covers the Austronesian languages.[1] It also has a comprehensive inventory of basic vocabulary lists for Kra–Dai languages, Hmong–Mien languages, Japonic languages, and other languages of East Asia.[2][3] It is currently the largest lexical database of Austronesian languages in terms of the number of languages covered.
