JLPT N5 vocabulary

The N5 vocabulary study set: 660 headwords in 7 reviewable batches (100 words each in batches 1–6, 60 in batch 7). The JLPT publishes no official vocabulary list; the set follows the ordering and headwords of the Tanos N5 vocabulary list and is a community study target, not an official coverage guarantee.

The batches

Batch	Words	Page
1	100	N5 vocabulary — batch 1
2	100	N5 vocabulary — batch 2
3	100	N5 vocabulary — batch 3
4	100	N5 vocabulary — batch 4
5	100	N5 vocabulary — batch 5
6	100	N5 vocabulary — batch 6
7	60	N5 vocabulary — batch 7

Each batch page has two views: a compact study set table (word, reading, meaning, notes) and detailed entries per word — parts of speech, core meanings, furigana segmentation, usage notes, transitivity, an everyday frequency indicator (TUBELEX), associated kanji, related words, an original example, and at most one corpus example (Tatoeba).

Provenance

• Membership and ordering: Tanos N5 vocabulary list (community study set).
• Lexical facts (forms, readings, parts of speech, meanings, transitivity, usage labels): JMdict via the jmdict-simplified JSON distribution.
• Furigana: JmdictFurigana; corpus examples: Tanaka corpus via Tatoeba (each carries its sentence id); frequency: TUBELEX Japanese subtitle data — corpus frequency of everyday writing, never a JLPT prediction.

Tanos separately advertises a broader working target, so the set is not implied to be an official or exhaustive N5 list.
