Accidentally deleted all apple dictionary sources and didn't back them up via time machine

Hey, I just deleted all the sources of the apple dictionary by accident and didn't back them up. Now when I open the dictionary literally nothing happens, just the app is shown to be open on the task bar. I'D appreciate any help, because I use the app on a daily basis. Thanks :)

You could try running the Catalina Combo installer and hope it replaces the missing files.

Otherwise you need to reinstall Catalina.
