The OED2, the largest English-language dictionary, contains some 290,000 entries with some 616,500 word forms. Of course, there are lots of slang and regional words that are not included and the big dictionary omits many proper names, scientific and technical terms, and jargon as a matter of editorial policy (e.g., there are some 1.4 million named species of insect alone). All told, estimates of the total vocabulary of English start at around three million words and go up from there.
ok lets do some calculations here guys
lets give the english language a generous 4 million words (estimated 3 million) and bear in mind that script can do supposedly 1.16 million words per minute
