Wiktionary is a project to create a multilingual free content dictionary in every language. This means each project seeks to use a particular language to define all words in ''all'' languages. It actually aims to be much more extensive than a typical dictionary, including thesauri, rhymes, translations, audio pronunciations, etymologies, and quotations. The project started in December 2002, and as of OctoberMay 20102013 is available in over 150 languages with over 316,000,000 entries in all. The largest language edition is English, followedwith by3,380,000 entires. Then Malagasy, French, LithuanianChinese, and ChineseLithuanian follow. All four of them have more than 300600,000 entries each, while 1924 other languages in total have more than 100,000 entries each. 6773 other languages have at least 1,000 entries.
 
Wiktionary works in collaboration with the Wikimedia Commons. Many sound files have been uploaded to Commons to provide Wiktionary and other projects with examples of pronunciation.
