William Shakespeare had a vocabulary of approximately 65,000 words although he only utilized 31,534 of those words within his work. To provide a frame of reference, the average English speaking person of the modern day knows 10,000 – 20,000 words despite having an education many orders of magnitude more advanced than what Shakespeare was ever introduced to half a millennia ago
