The ancient Cappadocian language has no known texts - only a few Greek words said to come from it. On 19 October 2026 its English Wikipedia article drew 40,094 human page views, after 27 to 59 a day from 1 to 17 October, and the article on attested languages drew 13,263 the same day (Wikimedia's daily counts).
Attested at HomeYour household's private words, set as a little dictionary
Every home talks its own language: the name for the remote, the word for the cross hour before dinner. Nobody writes it down, so it goes the way of Cappadocian. Jot your words here, one per line, and catch someone using each one - a quote is what makes a word attested.
1 The word slips
The word (in the Latin alphabet; accents are fine), then a dash, colon or equals sign, then what it means. A use in double quotes makes it attested; put who said it, and when, in brackets after the quote. A question mark or "not sure" outside the quotes marks it reconstructed. You can also drop a .txt file onto the box.
2 The page
3 Compile it properly
One run sets every word as a full dictionary entry - a respelling to say it by, a part of speech, one or two senses, the quoted use and any origin your notes give - then names the household's word-making habits (shared endings, doubled words, squashed-together words) and asks up to three questions that would firm up the record.
The verdict follows a fixed order: a slim pamphlet under four words; otherwise wants citations if fewer than half the words have a quoted use; otherwise ready for the press.
4 Saved dictionaries
Three marks a lexicographer uses
A quoted use with the word in it, ideally with who said it and when. Real dictionaries are built from these slips.
You know what it means, but nobody has been caught saying it yet. Listen out at dinner.
No meaning yet, or one marked uncertain. Linguists star a word known only by reconstruction: *flumpet.
How the free side works
Each line is read in your browser: the headword is everything before the first dash, colon, equals sign or "means" (up to four words); the meaning is the rest, minus any text in double quotes and the bracket right after a quote. The status rule runs in a fixed order: reconstructed if there is no meaning or the line outside its quotes holds a question mark or "not sure", "I think", "maybe", "something like", "we forget", "can't remember", "no idea" or "sort of"; attested if a quote contains the headword; otherwise described. The page sets the words alphabetically, ignoring a leading "the". A compiled reply is checked against your notes: one entry per word with the same spelling, the verdict against the counts, every quote word for word, every speaker and time from the notes, origins sharing words with the notes, habits shown by two headwords, and no he or she for anyone.
Attested at Home is a keepsake. It never corrects a word - a household's words are right by definition.
