## About "dial" in BIP39

- It takes all four letters to identify "dial": **"dia"** also begins [diagram](/bip39-word/diagram/), [diamond](/bip39-word/diamond/) and [diary](/bip39-word/diary/).
- **"dial"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins dialogue in the [French list](/french/) and dialeto in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
