Word lists are an invaluable tool for creating your own languages. Here are some lists and resources.  Also check out the collaborative resource index for Word Lists.

LEX Files
  • Fantasy LEX file - At long last, a lexicon suitable for creating your own fantasy languages! Compiled by Duncan Duchovy for use with LangMaker/Win for easy word-generation.
  • Latin & Latin LEX file - Useful for creating your own Romance languages, though you'll have to ignore long vowels (they're not marked - care to volunteer?). Also thanks to Duncan Duchovy.
  • Swadesh LEX file - The core words used to compare the time elapsed between a daughter language and its parent, used in glottochronology, the "carbon dating" of languages
