'''EuroWordNet''' is a system of [[semantic network]]s for European languages, based on [[WordNet]].<ref>P. Vossen, Ed. 1998. EuroWordNet: A Multilingual Database with Lexical Semantic Networks. Kluwer, Dordrecht, The Netherlands.</ref> Each language develops its own wordnet but they are interconnected with ''interlingual links'' stored in the ''Interlingual Index'' (ILI). 

Unlike the original Princeton [[WordNet]], most of the other wordnets are not freely available.

==Languages==
The original EuroWordNet project dealt with Dutch, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Czech, and Estonian.  These wordnets are now frozen, but wordnets for other languages have been developed to varying degrees.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.illc.uva.nl/EuroWordNet|title = EuroWordNet:Building a multilingual database with wordnets for several European languages}}</ref>

== License ==
Some examples of EuroWordNet are available for free. Access to the full database, however, is charged. In some cases, [[OpenThesaurus]] and [[BabelNet]] may serve as free alternatives.
