Just wondering, how did you generate this list? Some of the entries, like the Western Apache one, don't meet FWOTD requirements yet. But as a whole, it looks like a good place to farm new FWOTDs from. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 05:50, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

I wrote a program to find every non-English, non-conlang entry that has a pronunciation section, and either a #* line or, for non-WDLs a references section. Unfortunately too many entries have usexes using #* instead of the correct #:, and I didn’t bother to check whether the pronunciation sections have only hyphenation or {{rfp}}. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 12:19, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, still very useful. Of course, there are other sources — for example, the vast majority of Tok Pisin entries have citations added by yours truly, and the pronunciation sections would be a piece of cake. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 16:22, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

BTW, the terms are sorted based on how long their definitions are, so the first ones are likely to be more complex. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 10:05, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
