'''Wiktionary – ''the free dictionary''''' — a [[Wiktionary:portmanteau#Adjective|portmanteau]] of '[[wiki]]' and '{{tag|dictionary}}' – is a series of free [[:Category:Open content|open content]] collaborative [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] dictionaries that [[:Category:OpenEdit|anyone can edit]].  A major 'project' of the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] (WMF), the first [[:Category:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], the [[:Category:Wiki English|English]] language version, was founded December [[:Category:FoundedIn2002|2002]].  March [[:Category:FoundedIn2004|2004]] saw the arrival of [[:Category:Wiki French|French]] and [[:Category:Wiki Polish|Polish]] versions, and May 2004 saw the activation of Wiktionary wikis in all [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]] as existing [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedias]].  All language versions started as a wiki [[Wiktionary:dictionary#Noun|dictionary]] with [[:Category:Multilingual|multilingual]] [[Wiktionary:definition#Noun|definitions]], [[Wiktionary:etymology|etymologies]], pronunciations, sample [[:Category:Quotations|quotations]], [[Wiktionary:synonym|synonyms]], [[Wiktionary:antonym|antonyms]], and [[:Category:Translation|translations]].  They expanded to include a [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Thesaurus|thesaurus]] sub-project, [[Wiktionary:Category:Rhymes by language|rhyme guides]], [[Wiktionary:Category:Phrasebooks by language|phrase books]], [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Frequency lists|language statistics]], and [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Index to appendices|comprehensive appendices]].  '''Wiktionary''' is the [[Wiktionary:lexical|lexical]] companion to the open-content encyclopaedia [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].
