Conlangs with over 10,000 words

Because scrappers create and scrap so many conlangs, the vast majority of conlangs have a lexicon that doesn't get very large by the time they're scrapped. In fact, many conlangs have about 7 to 10 words by the time they're scrapped, and some never have a single word of lexicon created.

In this forest of creosote bushes, however, there are some sequoias that have astoundingly large lexica, such as Talossan, Arka, or Spocanian. Occasionally, a conlang will become known mainly for its large lexicon size (as happened with Arka).

Here is a list of the largest of the large -- conlangs that have at least ten thousand words in their lexicon.

Excluded are:

• Superset and subset languages
• Conlangs that consist of making only a few predictable changes to an existing language, such as Muphridian
• Conlangs whose lexicon consists of an unedited computer-generated data dump, such as Nunihongo (Computer-generated conlangs whose lexicon has been cleaned up, such as Classical Yiklamu, are eligible for this list)

Although James Landau, who has researched this list, has done quite an extensive search, there are no doubt at least a few conlangs that belong on this list that he's missed out on. Anyone is free to add them here.
