4 years ago Hi!
So, I thought that, maybe, the JLPT N5 80 items simple kanji list, which seems credible, was used to automatically create a 465 items vocabulary JLPT N5 list, ony made of the former one Kanjis (plus hiragana), regardless of the actual level of the final words.
That's exactly how I made them. I couldn't find a JLPT vocabulary list, and I don't know how Miageru made its list.
I'd really like to make the vocab list smaller, there are a lot of useless words there. If you know of some open word list that could help, please tell me.
As a conclusion, I think a clarification may be useful for final users to explain how those lists are made, or why they are difficult to determine or to create.
Since there is no documentation, and I'm not planning on writing an maintaining one at the moment, I can't really find a good place to explain that...

Hi,
In which extent does the kanji and vocabulary items refer to JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test)? I couldn't find how it has been stated.
I first was surprised by the word 日ソ, which means Japan-Soviet, being in the JLPT N5 (real beginner, basic words - my case) list.
But I started to really wonder today studiously learning "burasagaru" which is, accordingly to Miageru website , a rarely used verb of JLPT N1 (High level japanese speaker) level.
