===== Mnemonic Code Words (BIP0039)
Mnemonic codes are english word sequences that are generated from a random sequence and used to produce a seed for use in deterministic wallets. The sequence of words is sufficient to re-create the seed and from there re-create the wallet and all the derived keys. A wallet application that implements deterministic wallets with mnemonic code, will show the user a sequence of 12-24 words when first creating a wallet. That sequence of words is the wallet backup and can be used to recover and re-create all the keys, in the same or any compatible wallet application.

The common standard for mnemonic codes is defined in Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39 (see <<bip0039>>), currently in Draft status.
