# Etymology Atlas: Global Language Relationships
|
| 2 |
+
|
| 3 |
+
4.17M+ etymological relationships across 19,400+ languages with geographic coordinates, phoneme inventories, and typological features.
|

+
## What's Inside
|
| 6 |
+
|
| 7 |
+
| File | Records | Description |
|
| 8 |
+
|------|---------|-------------|
|
| 9 |
+
| `etymologies.parquet` | 4.17M | Core etymology graph - word relationships with types and confidence |
|
| 10 |
+
| `languages.parquet` | 19,401 | Language metadata - families, coordinates, speakers, status |
|
| 11 |
+
| `cognate_sets.parquet` | 4,981 | Expert-annotated cognate groups from Lexibank (IE-CoR) |
|
| 12 |
+
| `phonemes.parquet` | 105,484 | PHOIBLE phoneme inventories with articulatory features |
|
| 13 |
+
| `linguistic_features.parquet` | 76,475 | WALS typological features (192 types) |
|
| 14 |
+
|
| 15 |
+
## Quick Start
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
```python
|
| 18 |
+
import pandas as pd
|
| 19 |
+
|
| 20 |
+
# Load main etymology table
|
| 21 |
+
etymologies = pd.read_parquet('etymologies.parquet')
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
# Find all cognates of "water"
|
| 24 |
+
water_etym = etymologies[etymologies['term1'].str.contains('water', case=False)]
|
| 25 |
+
print(f"Found {len(water_etym)} relationships")
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
# Get Indo-European languages
|
| 28 |
+
languages = pd.read_parquet('languages.parquet')
|
| 29 |
+
ie_langs = languages[languages['family_name'] == 'Indo-European']
|
| 30 |
+
print(f"{len(ie_langs)} Indo-European languages")
|
| 31 |
+
```
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
```r
|
| 34 |
+
library(arrow)
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
etymologies <- read_parquet('etymologies.parquet')
|
| 37 |
+
languages <- read_parquet('languages.parquet')
|
| 38 |
+
|
| 39 |
+
head(etymologies)
|
| 40 |
+
```
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
## Relationship Types
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
The `relationship_type` field includes 31 categories:
|
| 45 |
+
|
| 46 |
+
- **inherited** - Direct genetic descent (English "mother" ← Proto-Germanic)
|
| 47 |
+
- **borrowed** - Loanword from another language (English "café" ← French)
|
| 48 |
+
- **cognate** - Shared ancestry from common parent
|
| 49 |
+
- **derived** - Morphological derivation within a language
|
| 50 |
+
- **calque** - Loan translation (German "Wolkenkratzer" = "skyscraper")
|
| 51 |
+
- **semantic_shift** - Meaning change over time
|
| 52 |
+
- **compound** - Two roots combined
|
| 53 |
+
- **blend** - Portmanteau (brunch = breakfast + lunch)
|
| 54 |
+
- **back_formation** - Reverse derivation (edit ← editor)
|
| 55 |
+
- **clipping** - Shortened form (phone ← telephone)
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
Plus 21 more specialized types.

## Research Ideas
|
| 70 |
+
|
| 71 |
+
1. **Etymology Networks** - Visualize word family trees and borrowing patterns
|
| 72 |
+
2. **Geographic Spread** - Map how words travel across language boundaries
|
| 73 |
+
3. **Sound Change** - Track phonological evolution using cognate sets + PHOIBLE
|
| 74 |
+
4. **Typological Correlations** - Find relationships between word order and other features
|
| 75 |
+
5. **Language Distance** - Build similarity metrics from cognate overlap
|
| 76 |
+
6. **Borrowing Patterns** - Which language families borrow most from each other?

### Dataset Summary
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
Etymology Atlas combines multiple authoritative linguistic databases into a unified resource for studying word origins across the world's languages. It links etymology relationships from Wiktionary (via etymology-db) with expert-annotated cognate sets from Lexibank, geographic and genealogical data from Glottolog, phoneme inventories from PHOIBLE, and typological features from WALS.
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
### Supported Tasks
|
| 37 |
+
|
| 38 |
+
- **Etymology prediction**: Given a word, predict its likely origin language and relationship type
|
| 39 |
+
- **Cognate detection**: Identify words with shared ancestry across languages
|
| 40 |
+
- **Language similarity**: Compute distance metrics based on shared cognates
|
| 41 |
+
- **Cross-lingual embeddings**: Align word representations using cognate pairs
|
| 42 |
+
- **Historical linguistics research**: Study sound changes, semantic shifts, borrowing patterns
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
### Languages
|
| 45 |
+
|
| 46 |
+
The dataset covers 8,500+ languages from all major language families:
|
| 47 |
+
- Indo-European (450+ languages)
|
| 48 |
+
- Austronesian (2,000+ varieties)
|
| 49 |
+
- Sino-Tibetan (400+ languages)
|
| 50 |
+
- Niger-Congo (1,500+ languages)
|
| 51 |
+
- Afro-Asiatic (300+ languages)
|
| 52 |
+
- And 200+ other families
|
| 53 |
+
|
| 54 |

+
Single unified dataset (no train/test splits). Users should create their own splits for ML tasks.
|
| 113 |
+
|
| 114 |
+
## Dataset Creation
|
| 115 |
+
|
| 116 |
+
### Curation Rationale
|
| 117 |
+
|
| 118 |
+
No existing dataset combines etymology relationships with linguistic geography, phonology, and typology. This integration enables research questions that span multiple dimensions of language structure and history.
|
| 119 |
+
|
| 120 |
+
### Source Data
|
| 121 |
+
|
| 122 |
+
| Source | License | Records |
|
| 123 |
+
|--------|---------|---------|
|
| 124 |
+
| etymology-db (Wiktionary) | CC BY-SA 3.0 | 3.8M entries |
|
| 125 |
+
| Glottolog 4.8 | CC BY 4.0 | 8,500+ languages |
|
| 126 |
+
| Lexibank CLDF | CC BY 4.0 | 370K cognate sets |
|
| 127 |
+
| PHOIBLE 2.0 | CC BY 4.0 | 2,186 inventories |
|
| 128 |
+
| WALS | CC BY 4.0 | 192 features |
|
| 129 |
+
|
| 130 |
+
### Annotations
|
| 131 |
+
|
| 132 |
+
Cognate judgments from Lexibank are expert-annotated by historical linguists. Etymology relationships from Wiktionary have variable quality; confidence scores reflect source reliability.
|
| 133 |
+
|
| 134 |
+
## Considerations for Using the Data
|
| 135 |
+
|
| 136 |
+
### Social Impact
|
| 137 |
+
|
| 138 |
+
This dataset supports linguistic research and language documentation. It may help preserve knowledge about endangered languages.
|
| 139 |
+
|
| 140 |
+
### Discussion of Biases
|
| 141 |
+
|
| 142 |
+
- Indo-European languages are overrepresented due to more extensive documentation
|
| 143 |
+
- Etymology confidence varies by language (well-documented languages have higher confidence)
|
| 144 |
+
- Some historical relationships are disputed among linguists
|
| 145 |
+
|
| 146 |
+
### Other Known Limitations
|
| 147 |
+
|
| 148 |
+
- Phoneme data available for ~25% of languages
|
| 149 |
+
- WALS features available for ~30% of languages
|
| 150 |
+
- Some etymology relationships are speculative
|
