The last two decades witnessed a rapid growth of publicly accessible online language resources. This has allowed for valuable data on lesser known languages to become available. Such resources provide linguists with opportunities for advancing their research. Yet despite the proliferation of lexical and morphological databases, the ca. 456 languages spoken in South America are poorly represented, particularly the Tupían family, which is the largest on the continent. This paper therefore introduces and discusses TuLeD, a lexical database exclusively devoted to a South American language family. It provides a comprehensive list of lexical items presented in a unified transcription for all languages with cognacy assignment and relevant (cultural or linguistic) notes. One of the main goals of TuLeD is to become a full-fledged database and a benchmark for linguistic studies on South American languages in general and the Tupían family in particular.

过去二十年见证了可公开访问的在线语言资源的快速增长。这使得关于鲜为人知的语言的有价值数据变得可用。这些资源为语言学家提供了推进研究的机会。然而，尽管词汇和形态数据库激增，ca。南美洲使用的 456 种语言的代表性很低，尤其是该大陆最大的 Tupian 语系。因此，本文介绍并讨论了 TuLeD，这是一个专门用于南美语系的词汇数据库。它提供了以统一转录形式呈现的所有语言的词汇项目的综合列表，并带有同义词分配和相关（文化或语言）注释。
