Description
Etymosz is an open-access linguistic project that visually connects etymologically related words and roots across the world's languages – creating a comprehensive and interactive map of word origins.
🧠 What does Etymosz do?The project's mission is to:
- 🌐 gather and structure etymological datasets from multiple countries and languages,
- 🔍 identify common linguistic roots (etymons) that appear across different cultures,
- 🧩 and then synthesize their core meanings into a unified semantic understanding.
This means we don’t just trace where a word comes from — we reveal how entire cultures express shared ideas, often with strikingly similar roots.
🗺️ Why is this exciting?- 👁️ It allows us to see language connections that usually remain hidden.
- 🎓 It's a valuable tool for linguists, students, teachers, researchers, and curious minds.
- 🧬 It highlights the interwoven nature of human thought across time and geography.
- ✅ A robust database already stores roots, synthesized meanings, and examples.
- 🔄 We are actively processing and integrating etymological data from a wide range of linguistic sources.
- 🌐 We are building an interactive globe-based interface that lets users explore language roots visually.
Your support allows us to:
- 📚 integrate more etymological resources across languages,
- 🤖 develop our AI-powered root analyzer and semantic synthesis engine,
- 🗺️ expand our visual mapping tools and user interface.
