German nouns gender source

Open Data Asked by E.K on September 29, 2021

I want to create some sort of spell checking program for German language, for which i need a database with all the words and their gender description(only their gender description) to cross reference every word.

Can anyone help me to find such database to download? i would like if it would be in rows and columns so i can later then import it into a sql database in order to use it more easily

The German language has 3 genders for nouns: Masculine, Feminine, Neutral. Unlike English which has one article "The", German has many articles change based on the grammatical case. Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv! ... It's a long story :D

Anyway, in German, this is not the best way to determine the noun gender, there are other rules that make it easy to guess.

If you are using the R language, then you could try to use the hunspell package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/hunspell/vignettes/intro.html

Since it is open-source, maybe you can extract the data you want for your project.
