Norwegian wordlist

Simple project to create a list of Norwegian words. To run:

python word_parser.py

Example output (and working wordlist) is wordlist_20220201_norsk_ordbank_nob_2005.txt and wordlist_20220201_norsk_ordbank_nno_2012.txt. They are generated without PyICU, described below.

You can also provide --length (-l) or --pattern (-p) to filter the wordlist. Some examples:

python word_parser.py --help
python word_parser.py --length 4
python word_parser.py --length 3-5
python word_parser.py --length 7-*
python word_parser.py --pattern '.*ubåt.*'
python word_parser.py -l 7-* -p 'a.+sin'

To handle sorting of ÆØÅ you can include the PyICU module. This also fixes some diacritic issues (EÉÈÊ), but might give some illogical results for AA sorted as Å.

Known issues

  • The regex to remove proper nouns also removes several valid words as well.
  • One might evaluate also removing some additional special characters, for example 1, 2, 3, 4 and /.
