I know one can define where abbrev files are saved with something like this

(setq abbrev-file-name "/home/zeltak/.emacs.d/abbrv/personal_abbrv.txt")

but this file has several section like (define-abbrev-table 'Buffer-menu-mode-abbrev-table '()) etc.

Is there a way to define another file that will only record the global-abbrev-table, is that possible at all?

    You could just `(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table '())` in some file, let's say `abbrevs.el` and at the end of it `(provide 'abbrevs)`. Afterwards you just `(require 'abbrevs)`. – caisah Jul 25 '16 at 18:22
  • I agree with @caisah, and I would recommend looking into Emacs' file loading functions for more fine-grained control. I think `provide/require` as mentioned would be the easiest if you're unfamiliar with Emacs Lisp. –  Jul 26 '16 at 17:42
