Words List: 5000 Most Common English

# Tokenize the text and remove stopwords stopwords = nltk.corpus.stopwords.words('english') tokens = [word.lower() for word in brown.words() if word.isalpha() and word.lower() not in stopwords]

# Calculate word frequencies word_freqs = Counter(tokens) 5000 most common english words list

Do you have any specific requirements or applications in mind for this list? # Tokenize the text and remove stopwords stopwords = nltk

import nltk from nltk.corpus import brown from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize from collections import Counter 'w') as f: for word

# Download the Brown Corpus if not already downloaded nltk.download('brown')

# Get the top 5000 most common words top_5000 = word_freqs.most_common(5000)

# Save the list to a file with open('top_5000_words.txt', 'w') as f: for word, freq in top_5000: f.write(f'{word}\t{freq}\n') Keep in mind that the resulting list might not be perfect, as it depends on the corpus used and the preprocessing steps.
