L'elenco segue il programma del nuovo HSK del novembre 2025 nella versione aperta complete-hsk-vocabulary di Yanis Zafirópulos (licenza MIT). I significati in italiano sono quelli del sito; gli altri, in inglese, vengono dal dizionario aperto CC-CEDICT (licenza CC BY-SA 4.0) e si ridistribuiscono con la stessa licenza. Ogni parola è assegnata al primo livello in cui compare.
