The 1000 most common Spanish words

We generated this list of the most common Spanish words through a statistical analysis of a wide range of Spanish-language documents (news articles, and other articles on the web).

This Spanish vocabulary list is sorted by frequency: the words appearing at the top of the list are more frequently used than those appearing further down the list.

In Spanish as in most languages, the more common words tend to be shorter than the less common words. Linguists have a name for this phenomenon, it is called the “brevity law” or “Zipf's law of abbreviation”.

Spanish is a Romance language which means that it has evolved from Latin. This is the reason why most of the common Spanish vocabulary words originate from Latin words.

The buttons below can be used to filter this vocabulary list by type of word (noun, verb, adjective, etc ..)
