Japanese foreign word (katakana) list

Name: Hello World !0KnarLqamA 2007-01-20 17:15

I remember, I downloaded a .txt file that contained a huge ass katakana list.

Basically, it was just a simple text file with the words written in katakana and the English word next to it. And it was a long long list, pretty much everything.

Looks a bit like this...

START QUOTE

エプル apple
バナナ banana
ケストレション castration

END QUOTE

etc..etc..etc...

I think I got it from here, or maybe from /b/, can't remember. If anyone knows where I can get it, I'd appreciated it.

Such a list would be fucking stupid and useless anyhow.

Except for some really, really commonly used or simple foreign words, there are no official correct spelling of anything in katakana.

Not to mention that katakana encompases all words from any language other than Japanese... which will run you into trouble if you choose to compile this list based on English alone. Like say, "Bread." The Japanese word for it in katakana is spelled "pan." (in case you didn't know, pan is the word for bread in some romantic languages) ... which sounds nothing like "Bread" in English.

They'll think you're a fucking moron if you try and use the phonetic katakanized spelling of bread.
