Hi!

The idea of a Hungarian word list based diceware dictionary is nice! Good job!
For me the lack of accents is a bit of a problem. Do you plan to publish a version with accents as well?

Also: where did you obtain the word list? I could not find it in sources, but it might be interesting.

Cheers!

IMHO, the primary audience for the Hungarian word list are people who speak Hungarian.

People who would benefit the most from the list are those who do not fully understand the principles and importance of cryptography and strong passwords and were resistant to use previous hard-to-remember alternatives.

A big part of these people usually have no or very limited English knowledge.

As Reinhold points out, knowing the meaning of words helps to memorize them. Knowing the original form (with diacritics) is a great aid e.g. during dictionary lookup of words that have unknown or uncertain meaning to the user, or just look unfamiliar without diacritics.

Using the words without diacritics is then a simple choice left to the user. Multiple Hungarian words can have the same form without diacritics. To include only one of these words in the list allows to keep the strength (entropy) generating from the list when using words without diacritics.

Also, it is easy to auto-convert to a diacritic-less form, while the other direction is ambiguous due to the above mentioned reason.

Note, that lists for other languages, e.g. Czech, are also provided with diacritics.
