Lexicon Explorer Help

Lexicon Explorer is the no-login place to inspect imported lexicons without saving anything to an account.

Best For
  • Checking a VulgarLang export before using it elsewhere.
  • Filtering a large word list and copying or downloading one useful column.
  • Extracting phonology from uploaded pronunciations without creating a saved lexicon.
Typical Workflow
  • Upload one VulgarLang export, or upload matching languages and words JSON files.
  • Use search, lexicon selection, and page-size controls to find the entries you need.
  • Export normalized JSON for Mundifex-compatible reuse, or export a single filtered column.
  • Open the phonology extraction modal when pronunciations are present.
Accepted Inputs
  • VulgarLang JSON or text exports.
  • Compatible languages*.json and words*.json files.
  • Built-in seed lists such as Swadesh, Leipzig-Jakarta, Dolgopolsky, Holle, and related starter lists.
Outputs
  • Normalized Mundifex lexicon JSON.
  • Plain-text column exports for spellings, pronunciations, translations, parts of speech, etymologies, or lexicon names.
  • Forwarded phonology data for the Simple Sound Change Generator.
Limits And Access
  • Explorer is browser-only and does not save data to your account.
  • Very large files depend on browser memory and may be easier to handle in Lexicon Studio after trimming.
Troubleshooting
  • If import fails, validate the JSON and upload matching language and word files together.
  • If phonology extraction is empty, check that entries include pronunciation data rather than only spellings.
