I'm currently searching for a big list of machine readable latin words. I need it in a (.txt) file and preferably no definitions with the words, and each word be on a different line. For example:

studiose
studium
stultus
suadeo
suasoria
...and so on...

Does anyone know where I could find something like this or does someone have it? If you know of one with definitions, the would have to be commonly separated like with a colon:

latin_word:definition

    I started to write an answer but then realized this was a waste of time, because it was based om my Google search for 'latin word list'. You can do the same. There are plenty.

    If you need a list without definitions, why the colon requirement for a list 'with'? Any separator will do, because you can simply change it to a colon in any text editor.

  • Are you interested in word lists as words are used in classical texts (so including conjugations and declensions), or the only the root form of the word? An example: (A) only aqua, or (B) aqua, aquae, aquam, etc.

I haven't found any ready lists with just Latin words in txt format, but you can parse these lists to extract the Latin words from them:
