Grandiloquent Dictionary

This is the result of an ongoing project to collect and distribute the most obscure and rare words in the English language. It also contains a few words which do not have equivalent words in English. At present, the dictionary contains approximately 2700 words, though it is constantly growing.

Following a large number of requests, pronounciations are now being (slowly) added to the listing, although it will be a long time before they are all added.

**NEW**

After almost three years of work, the new

Third Edition of the Grandiloquent Dictionary

is now available as a PDF File.

**NEW**

Including ~500 Words Not in the Online Version!

In honour of ten years of the Grandiloquent Dictionary being available online, a special edition print version has been published! It can be purchased online in softcover or hardcover. In the coming months I will also be working on a distribution deal to have it sold through a number of other online retailers.

The Author's Webpage

NOTE: Due to a few inconsiderate people who have copied this dictionary and claimed ownership (including one site owner who has repeatedly denied doing so even though his pages list my e-mail address as well) I have been forced to add a copyright page. Please read it if you intend to use any of this material.
