Our world-class English language data
 is ready to power your project

Oxford Languages provides a trusted source of human-curated, accurately tagged, and labelled language datasets in a variety of formats. All datasets follow our single data model, providing a consistent and clean structure across all languages. We offer flexible datasets which include definitions, examples, idioms, phonetics and phonetic transcriptions, regional varieties, and inflected forms.
 
Enhance your app or website with our British English or American English datasets created from the world-renowned, trusted and authoritative Oxford Dictionary of English and New Oxford American Dictionary.
Each dataset contains over 350,000 words, phrases, and meanings, including thousands of brand-new words and senses and up-to-date comprehensive information.
 
Our data is available via API as well as other formats, such as XML, which can bring you many benefits: 

  • Easily human-readable but can also be processed by computers.
  • Wide range of search and transformation technology options.
