This paper introduces CogNet, a new, large-scale lexical database that provides cognates—words of common origin and meaning—across languages. The database currently contains 3.1 million cognate pairs across 338 languages using 35 writing sys- tems. The paper also describes the automated method by which cognates were computed from publicly available wordnets, with an accuracy evaluated to 94%. Finally, statistics and early insights about the cognate data are presented, hinting at a possible future exploitation of the resource1 by various fields of lingustics.
