strălingv

Description

Inspired by Wikimedia's project Etytree and my own manually drawn infographics, this project aims to programatically generate etymology trees from Wiktionary data.

Method

This Python application parses Wiktionary API output to recursively retrieve etymological data of input words and render their etymological connections using Graphviz.

Examples

Ascendants and descendants of a particular word

Etymology tree of Romanian "crește"

All descendants of a particular PIE root

Etymology tree of PIE root "*ḱer-"

Errors

This project is still in its very early stages, so errors regarding meaning or connections are to be expected.
