'''Wiktionary – ''the free dictionary''''' — a {{Wikt|portmanteau#Adjective|portmanteau}} of '[[wiki]]' and '{{tag|dictionary}}' – is a series of free [[:Category:Open content|open content]] collaborative [[WhatIsWiki|wiki site]] dictionaries that [[:Category:OpenEdit|anyone can edit]].  A major linguistic edition '{{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia projects|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]] by [[Brion Vibber]].  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 by [[Tim Starling]] in all [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]] as existing [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedias]].  All language versions started as a wiki {{Wikt|dictionary#Noun|dictionary}} with [[:Category:Multilingual|multilingual]] {{Wikt|definition#Noun|definitions}}, {{Wikt|etymology|etymologies}}, pronunciations, sample [[:Category:Quotations|quotations]], {{Wikt|synonym|synonyms}}, {{Wikt|antonym|antonyms}}, and [[:Category:Translation|translations]].  They expanded to include a {{Wikt|Wiktionary:Thesaurus|thesaurus}} sub-project, {{Wikt|Category:Rhymes by language|rhyme guides}}, {{Wikt|Category:Phrasebooks by language|phrase books}}, {{Wikt|Wiktionary:Frequency lists|language statistics}}, and {{Wikt|Wiktionary:Index to appendices|comprehensive appendices}}.  '''Wiktionary''' is the {{Wikt|lexical}} companion to the open-content encyclopaedia [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].
