300 most common Latin words

This Latin vocabulary selection is based on Paul Diederich's 300 most frequent Latin words, from his 1938 dissertation, "The frequency of Latin words and their endings". I added definitions and some grammatical information. Such frequency lists invariably depend on the selection of texts, but a 300 word list is short enough to be a good representation of most common words for all types of texts. If you would like to learn about a creative way to expand your vocabulary, please take a look at the 180-page book "Mnemonic Latin".

You may also find it useful to be mindful of the many Latin derivatives in the English language. Sometimes a familiar English word can be your key to learning a Latin root. Vice versa, Latin roots can help greatly improve your English vocabulary.
