Wiktionary – the free dictionary — a portmanteau of 'wiki' and 'dictionary', is a series of free wiki sites containing open content user-generated collaborative online dictionaries that anyone can edit. A major linguistic edition 'project' of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF), the first Wiktionary, the English language version, was founded December 2002 by Brion Vibber. March 2004 saw the arrival of French and Polish versions, and May 2004 saw the activation of Wiktionary wiki sites by Tim Starling in all languages as existing Wikipedias. All language versions started as a wiki dictionary with multilingual definitions, etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms, and translations. They expanded to include a thesaurus sub-project, rhyme guides, phrase books, language statistics, and comprehensive appendices. Wiktionary is the lexical companion to the open-content encyclopaedia Wikipedia.

All Wiktionary wiki sites have their textual content released under a dual-license; those being the initial GNU Free Documentation License version 1.1 (or later) (GFDL or GNU FDL v1.1+), and the subsequent addition Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 Unported license (CC-BY-SA 3.0).[1]
