Hey guys, I made this last week as a two-evening side project. Happy to see it posted here, thanks randall! I know the word lists aren't complete. This was the best I could do given the time constraint, the fact that I don't actually speak 19 languages... And also, after two evenings of googling dirty words, I started feeling like I'm about to acquire Tourette's in some unknown language ;) I'll update the database wi…

If you do go this route, my 2 cents are two keep it JSON formatted and maybe add a severity flag to each word for words like "git" which aren't so bad if you product is targeting non-english audiences while words like "fuck" are really bad irrespective of the audience you are targeting. Taken in conjunction with the population size of the language, this could generate a good score for word safety.

Btw, no South East Asia language yet?

I think Catalan people don't have the "ñ" letter in their alphabet and they use instead this combination "ny" for that particular sound.
Well, catalan people have the ñ letter in their alphabet because they are spaniards, is just that some of them prefer to ignore this for political reasons, and they choose instead to do simple things complicated. Both systems are a question of convenience, so no one is perfect. You can choose between the useful (and trendy in two or three spanish communities) "ny" or the older "gn" charged of historical context and s…
If anyone is interested, Catalan[1] is a Latin language spoken in Catalonia and other areas of the North East of Spain, South of France and a city in Italy. It is also the official language of a country: Andorra.
It has about 10 million speakers[2], a bit more that Swedish, that is an official working language in the EU.
Its use has been forbidden in Spain during 300 years[3] -until the death of the Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco- but, even though it has managed to survive until today.
And there's a top level domain, .cat[4], that is intended for websites that use Catalan language.
Also, and we don't use Catalan because we are doing political experiments, or to annoy Spanish people. We use it because, for some of us, is our native language!

Dutch: http://www.taalkabaal.nl/scheldwoorden/indexa.php Have fun. Some of these are spelled incorrectly, so run them through a spell-checker. While I'm at it, let me translate some personal favourites. I realize they are quite long and unlikely candidates for the next hot SF start-up, but why keep knowledge away from the masses: adderengebroedsels - offspring of vipers argeologisch kontfossiel - archaeological ass f…
LMAO :')
I wonder if it makes sense to add "ku" as well? When I was a kid, I'd always giggle at the American candy bar "Kudos."
This is really cool....
Kudos.

FWIW, he got the name from Jonathan Swift: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laputa
Who... apparently didn't speak Spanish.
