Duden managing editor Kathrin Kunkel-Razum holding the latest edition of the dictionary. German language dictionary Duden has added 5,000 new words to its latest edition, including several English words. Duden’s new edition to be released on Wednesday has added thousands of new words, including several words of English-language origin such as Selfie, Tablet and Fake News. Another addition was the German language blog favourite Kopfkino (mental cinema, or daydream), which surprisingly had not been included in the dictionary before. A few words spelled in traditional German language fashion have been dropped from the latest edition.
