Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal (English: "Dictionary of the Dutch language") is a dictionary of the Dutch language and the largest dictionary in the world in print^[1]. It has over 430,000 entries of Dutch words from 1500 to 1921 and the paper edition consists of 43 volumes and close to 50,000 pages. The dictionary was almost 150 years in the making: the first fascicle (A-Aanhaling) was published in 1863 and the last (Zuid-Zythum) in 1998. Three supplements to the original dictionary text containing modern-day Dutch words were published in 2001. The dictionary can currently be purchased only in an electronic form.

Since 27 January 2007, the dictionary has become available online (http://wnt.inl.nl/). There is no charge for access but registration is required.
