AWS SDK for Go V1 has reached end-of-support. We recommend that you migrate to [AWS SDK for Go V2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v2/developer-guide/). For additional details and information on how to migrate, please refer to this [announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs//developer/announcing-end-of-support-for-aws-sdk-for-go-v1-on-july-31-2025/).

# Getting a List of Lexicons
<a name="polly-example-list-lexicons"></a>

This example uses the [ListLexicons](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/service/polly/#Polly.ListLexicons) operation to get the list of lexicons in the `us-west-2` region.

Choose `Copy` to save the code locally.

Create the file *pollyListLexicons.go*. Import the packages used in the example.

```
import (
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/polly"

    "fmt"
    "os"
)
```

Initialize a session that the SDK will use to load credentials from the shared credentials file `~/.aws/credentials`, load your configuration from the shared configuration file `~/.aws/config`, and create an Amazon Polly client.

```
sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
    SharedConfigState: session.SharedConfigEnable,
}))

svc := polly.New(sess)
```

Call `ListLexicons` and display the name, alphabet, and language code of each lexicon.

```
resp, err := svc.ListLexicons(nil)

for _, l := range resp.Lexicons {
    fmt.Println(*l.Name)
    fmt.Println("  Alphabet: " + *l.Attributes.Alphabet)
    fmt.Println("  Language: " + *l.Attributes.LanguageCode)
    fmt.Println("")
}
```
