Early discussion
Isn't it so that in Finnish the words ending changes to indicate whether it is determined or not?Polyglot 17:45 May 4, 2003 (UTC)

 * Not really. You may be thinking of Swedish and other North Germanic languages that have suffixed definite articles. It's true in Finnish that, in certain contexts, certain cases are used so that they indicate the same thing that is expressed in English by different articles. Word order can matter, too. Hyark 20:48, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Should we include Da as a related term? e.g. album title Boy in Da Corner (by Dylan Mills, a.k.a. Dizzee Rascal). Would it be described as 'slang' or 'hip-hop'? DavidL 21:23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I suggest putting it under "see also", as "colloquial". We can then add "t'" (northern English), and "de" (Black?  Southern US?) — Paul G 13:03, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't see why the unstressed pronunciation has been removed. This is important. thə, /ðə/, /D@/ — Hippietrail 00:09, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * It's simply not correct to talk about the unstressed pronunciation. Different dialects and even different speakers do different things, including /D@/, /D/, /D'/ (/D/ followed by a glottal stop, if I got the SAMPA wrong), and probably others.  I've tried to detail that in the note on pronunciation, but we're really verging into phonology here.  Similarly, the original statement distinguishing pre-vocalic and pre-consonantal was incorrect, and again the real story is a matter of phonology.

 * The only reason to talk about this at all is to note that the behaves a bit differently because it tends to attach to its target (or whatever the technical term is -- I'll see if I can look that up). But we don't want to go to far.  For example, we might mention the y glide that gets inserted between a stressed the and a word starting with a vowel (the onion) if you pronounce the long e there, but that's the same for any vowel/vowel comination (be alert) for example, so it doesn't deserve special mention.

 * Hope that clarifies somewhat. -dmh 12:59, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * But /ðə/ is the standard unstressed pronunciation - check any print dictionary. It's important that Wiktionary gives this too. — Paul G 13:03, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I wonder if that reflects actual usage. E.g., take 100 people at random and get them to say "the word 'the'" and see how it comes out.  My personal inclination is to use a long 'e', but I may just be non-standard.  In any case, the present pronunciation section looks OK to me. -dmh 19:52, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Where there are different forms for different numbers, genders and cases, these would look better if they were tabulated. — Paul G 13:20, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Definitions
Number three needs some work. Mention of adjectival nouns needs to be made. It seems that the function of "the" is to turn adjectives, "hungry," into noun phrases, "the hungry." I can't really think of a good dictionary sounding phrasing, so i'll leave it for now.

Part of speech
Should this be listed as ===Article=== and further qualified on the definition lines? --Connel MacKenzie T C 19:26, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I think that makes more sense, yeah. Jon Harald Søby 19:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

The US Festival
The usage notes touches on what happens in dialect that does not pronounce "the" as /ðiː/ before a vowel, and takes the example of "the US Festival". I am puzzled though, because I thought there was no need for this distinct pronunciation anyway since "US Festival", as far as pronunciation is concerned, doesn't begin with a vowel. In the usage notes of "an", which I believe gives me support, there are examples of when to use "a" and when to use "an". One specifically finds "a user (u is pronounced as yu)". Isn't the case the same when it comes to "US Festival"? 163.9.100.136 12:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps "Us festival" is a dated example. Only the first letter is capitalized, as it's "us" (as in "we") not "US" (as in "United States").  "The Onion" would be a more up-to-date example, but I was looking for a minimal pair (in this case "the us" vs. "thus"). -dmh 15:47, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Self-reference
Is there a way to get rid of "the" in the definitions? Eyu100 03:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, but I don't consider it necessary. If the definition said "'the' means 'the'", it would be a problem. But if the definition simply uses "the" as a large percentage of English sentences do, it doesn't have to be a problem. E.g. "'the' is the definite article in English". Circular arguments which involve greatly widening spirals, dependent mostly on other things and only partly on self-reference, can be valid. If we have a period at the end of every definition I don't think we leave it off when we define "period". I suppose a very small percentage of users may experience some frustration at the inclusion of the word in the definition in this case. Ideally it would not be circular at all but in the case of the word "the" it's such a common word it would be too hard to avoid using it. --Coppertwig 03:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Non-parallel examples
The parallel examples (I'm reading the book/I'm reading a book) give people who already know how to use "the" something to think about to help them understand the written definition; but I think they do little or nothing to help someone who is not already familiar with "a" and "the". Even someone who already speaks a language with equivalent words will not be able to tell from those examples which is which. The non-parallel examples (The book I gave you yesterday/A book I saw on your shelf) are examples of usage which do illustrate the meaning and use of the word "the". At least a little. Compare "I have a broom" with "I used the broom to sweep the floor clean" as illustrations of the meaning of the word "broom". Since some people seem to prefer the parallel examples, I restored the original parallel examples and put the non-parallel examples as additional illustrative sentences. (The other two sentences about it being the most common word are interesting but IMO don't help illustrate the meaning and usage; a person could take almost any text and find the word "the" being used and get just about as much information about how to use it as those examples give.) --Coppertwig 14:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * But the non-parallel examples add nothing in terms of explanation. You could just as easily say: "A book I gave you yesterday." and "The book I saw on your shelf."  The sentences about common usage should be under a header for "Trivia". I'll make that change now. --EncycloPetey 16:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * They do add something in terms of explanation. You could just as easily say those things only in the sense that you could just as easily say "I used the hat to sweep the floor clean."  The value of the illustrative examples is not in the impossibility or difficulty in saying them (though if such examples could be found they might be preferable) but in the relative likelihood of a situation springing to mind or occurring in day-to-day life.

 * I could easily say "the book I gave you yesterday", but I would be unlikely ever to say "a book I gave you yesterday". Likely I only gave the person one book.  If I had handed the person several books, I still wouldn't say "a book I gave you yesterday," but "one of the books I gave you yesterday".  The only situations I can think of where I would be likely to say "a book I gave you yesterday" are:  where I had given the person some boxes of miscellaneous stuff that they probably hadn't unpacked yet and therefore didn't know there were some books included;  or where the person has severe memory loss.

 * Similarly, I can easily imagine saying "a book I saw on your shelf", but it's harder to find situations for saying "the book I saw on your shelf". In my experience, if a shelf has any books it almost always has more than one.  If there is only one book, I would be more likely to say "the book on your shelf".  If there is more than one, I might say "the book I saw on your shelf," but it wouldn't be literally correct, because I would be implicitly claiming not to have seen, even out of the corner of my eye, the other books on the same shelf;  and I would probably also only find occasion to say that if I had already mentioned the same book so the person already knew which book had particularly caught my eye.

 * So there are differences in the likelihood of using the meaning of "a" or of "the" in each context, and therefore the examples can serve an illustrative purpose. Maybe there are better examples.  "A book I saw at the library" might be better for the second one;  though I find it too easy to imagine myself saying something like "you know that book I mentioned to you that I had seen at the library?" or "the book I saw at the library" for short.  --Coppertwig 03:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I see where you're going now (and didn't before). How about using: "The street in front of your house" and "A street in Paris"?  This reduces the possibility of flip-flopping the usage. --EncycloPetey 03:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Those are better examples. Thanks.  I've put them into the article.  --Coppertwig 03:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

the...the...
This part is quite complicated in some languages and it seems it's more appropriate for grammar references than dictionaries. I have added Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. Still not 100% happy, if it's clear. In Japanese, with verbs, it's a similar pattern: 学べば学ぶほど、何も知らなかった事に気づく - the more I learn, the more I feel I don't understand. ("more" is implied). Anatoli 01:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

American vs. British usage
"The" is more common in British English where it would be seen as superfluous in semi-informal American usage, harkening to early 20th century American usage. One example: "Ask the cancer nurses a question" (http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/utilities/contact-us/index.htm). American usage would likely omit "the" or use something such as "our". --达伟 11:02, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't believe what you're talking about is informal use. I'm not sure what to call it, but this kind of condensed writing can be found even in legalese. Without "the", the example you gave would sound strange to my American ears if spoken or in prose. DAVilla 04:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Omitting "the" changes the meaning. It then refers to any old nurses, and not a specific named group (i.e. the ones working for the site). Equinox ◑ 04:43, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

cele
The last entry for Romanian, cele, doesn't wikilink to anything Romanian. Rothorpe (talk) 01:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That's because no one has added a Romanian section to that page yet. Chuck Entz (talk) 05:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

not last the year
like new shows the sentence "Our like-new refrigerator didn't last the year". How should the differences be added between such a sentence with a year and with the year? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:29, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Nothing to be added. "The year" means we are referring to a specific year; "a year" is less precise about when. Equinox ◑ 13:00, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Great, then maybe we can add this very extremely notably common example to one of the definitions, frankly I'm not sure which. By the way, we have translations for a sense marked "this" but no definition stating "this". DAVilla 04:51, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

 * It may mean "that" just as well as "this". Consider "If she does XYZ in the year 2030 she won't last the year". Equinox ◑ 04:56, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

she looks the happier for her trip

another word for per, esp with nouns or noun phrases of cost: fifty pence the pound https://www.wordreference.com/definition/the --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:50, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

/ei/
thay reads: Eye dialect spelling of the. However OED only reads : ''obs. forms of thae, they, though.'' --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:24, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Pronunciation
According to Longman Pronunciation Dictionary

THE: Strong form ðiː, weak forms ði, ðə —Native speakers sometimes ignore this distribution, in particular by using ðə before a vowel (which in turn is usually reinforced by a preceding ʔ), or ðiː in any environment, though especially before a hesitation pause. Furthermore, some speakers use stressed ðə as a strong form. --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

(The) last/next week/month/year etc.
"Last week, month etc (without the) is the week, month etc just before this one. If I am speaking in July, last month was June; in 2006, last year was 2005. The last week, month etc is the period of seven/thirty/etc days up to the moment of speaking. On July 15th 2006, the last month is the period from June 16th to July 15th; the last year is the 12 months starting in July 2005" --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

any the
Just as none the redirects here, e.g. as in If you don't tell them, nobody will be any the wiser --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:41, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

much the
Shouldn't much the redirect here just as none the does? --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:26, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I've deleted that redirect for "none the" since the definition of "the" only gives half the information you'd need to understand it. DAVilla 04:45, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Modern British pronunciation
Among young people in Britain it's apparently now common to say /ðə/ all the time, even where people used to say /ðiː/. For example, "/ðə/ apple", not "/ðiː/ apple". This is particularly noticeable in MLE speech, but here's a non-MLE example: (from 2'30, she says "/ðə/ orange" several times). We should probably mention this in the pronunciation notes, ideally citing a source. Equinox ◑ 19:17, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is a more general development than the tame dialect note would answer. It's mentioned in Grammar and Usage: Your Questions Answered by Michael McCarthy (2019) which took me here. Can't give the pager number now, but should be easy to find with the index. There might be better sources of course. -87.123.123.204 23:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

the hospital
Is it really /ði:/ in the context cited in the pronunciation notes? In an office with six people where almost everything was done electronically, the pen on the counter became "[ˈðʌ] pen" one day when two people wanted to use it at the same time. I wonder if the hospital example tends to attract [i:] because /h/ is such a weak consonant, and even silent for some speakers. — Soap — 20:15, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

chocolate

Etymology
Via from a  word,   widely given as  (with the second element being a reflex of 🇨🇬), although such a word does not appear in Nahuatl until the mid-18th century according to Karttunen. Dakin and Wichmann propose as the original form (saying it survives in several modern Nahuatl dialects) and say the chicol- element refers to a special wooden stick used to prepare chocolate. Another theory is that the prefix came from.

Noun

 * 1)  A food made from ground roasted cocoa beans.
 * Chocolate is a very popular treat.
 * 1)  A drink made by dissolving this food in boiling milk or water.
 * 2)  A single, small piece of confectionery made from chocolate.
 * He bought her some chocolates as a gift. She ate one chocolate and threw the rest away.
 * 1)  A dark, reddish-brown colour/color, like that of chocolate (also called chocolate brown).
 * As he cooked it the whole thing turned a rich, deep chocolate.
 * 1)  A cat having a chocolate-colored coat.
 * 2)  A black person;  blackness.
 * 1)  A cat having a chocolate-colored coat.
 * 2)  A black person;  blackness.

Wiktionary:About Han script

There are a number of entries on Chinese characters, which are used in the People's Republic of China (simplified Chinese), the Republic of China (Taiwan) (traditional Chinese), Japan (kanji), and Korea (hanja).

Chinese characters were formerly used in Vietnamese (chữ Nôm), have been used in minority languages in China: Bai, Dong, Miao and Zhuang (this latter using significant variants), and Siniform scripts were used for the extinct Khitan, Jurchen, and Tangut languages.

In addition to laying out a standard format, this page recommends standards on writing (creating or editing) these pages.

Recommendations

 * Use to wrap Chinese character text, specifying the language and using   (traditional Chinese),   (simplified Chinese),   (Japanese), or   (generic Chinese) as the script, or characters may display using inappropriate fonts and forms.
 * Due to, a given character does not have a language attached. As a result, if the language is not explicitly defined browsers may use a set of fallback fonts that may be inappropriate for a given text. Chinese words may be jarringly displayed using a Japanese font with insufficient coverage needed for Chinese (resulting in two fonts with different styles being used at once), or Japanese terms may be displayed using a Chinese font that uses character forms that deviate from the Japanese norm. To avoid this, is used to tell the browser that "this is Chinese text, use a Chinese font" or "this is Japanese text, use a Japanese font".

Entry layout
Chinese characters are both characters and the spellings of words in various languages. Thus entries for Chinese characters:
 * begin with a "Translingual" section on the character itself, and
 * then include entries in each language that uses them.
 * The language-specific sections themselves ("Chinese", "Japanese", "Korean", etc.) begin with a section on the character itself (except for Chinese), then include a part of speech section if the character can be used in isolation (for example, can be used as a normal noun in Japanese). The part of speech sections follow WT:ELE, but the character sections have specific formats (reading, eumhun, compounds, etc.), as detailed below.

Theoretical code for a most basic entry is shown below, using.

Categories of characters
Chinese characters have been used in a number of languages and regions in the, and thus have a great deal of variation.
 * Many characters are used in the same form, across all languages;
 * some characters only exist in one language or another;
 * and other characters have different forms in different languages.
 * In, many are considered variants not worth encoding separately (see ), some are encoded separately to preserve backwards compatibility with legacy encodings, and some appear identical but have different stroke orders.
 * There are also handwritten simplifications (Japanese, Korean ) which may or may not be encoded.

It is useful to indicate both:
 * What categories a character falls into
 * What, if any, a character has

Most basically, there are s, and two major simplifications: s (Chinese) and (Japanese).

In more detail:
 * Chinese
 * s
 * s
 * Japanese
 * —generally identical to traditional
 * —sometimes the same as simplified, sometimes different; see Category:CJKV characters simplified differently in Japan and China
 * —Japanese characters coined in Japan (sometimes borrowed into China) (see Category:Japanese-only CJKV Characters)
 * , or —simplification of kyūjitai forms outside the ; primarily used by the newspaper
 * ghost kanji (ja)—non-existent characters erroneously included in
 * Note that and  are written in shinjitai, while  are generally written in kyūjitai, or rarely in extended shinjitai.
 * Korean
 * Generally the same as traditional.
 * coined in Korea (rare) (see Category:Korean-only CJKV Characters)
 * Vietnamese
 * Generally the same as traditional.
 * chữ Nôm coined in Vietnam (see Category:Vietnamese-only CJKV Characters)

Variant forms
A character may have multiple forms. One should:
 * Indicate the variant forms, both by an hatnote and via a  (Translingual) or  (Chinese) template.
 * Not use inappropriate forms. For instance, do not write Japanese words in simplified Chinese (if the form differs from the shinjitai form).

For instance, the character for "reading" has 3 forms, as in the box at right. This box is produced by the template.

Headings
There are a number of templates which help with the layout, which are listed below.

The only thing that should come before the “Translingual” heading is, if necessary, a hatnote for similar characters which may be confused (such as  and ), and for variant forms; plus.

(Stroke order)
A stroke order diagram may be displayed using the template, with parameter strokes= for sizing. All existent diagrams can be found at commons:Category:CJK stroke order. A separate “Stroke order” section is not to be created.

Caveat: Different stroke orders
Beware that, just as some characters have different forms in different languages, some characters have different stroke orders in different languages.

There are potentially 3 (or more) different stroke orders, but these very often coincide:
 * Traditional Chinese, used historically, and in Taiwan and Hong Kong
 * Note that there are some differences between modern Taiwanese and Hong Kong standards and actual historical practice; for example, differs in Taiwan, while  and  differ in Hong Kong.
 * Japanese
 * e.g., ,.
 * Simplified Chinese, used in mainland China
 * Also known as Modern Chinese; some characters were not simplified, but their stroke order was changed.

There are also Korean and Vietnamese stroke orders and character forms, but modern Korea generally uses Japanese conventions, and Vietnamese is only of historical interest, hence relatively unimplemented.

For instance, is different in Chinese and Japanese, while the radical  (and thus all derived characters) differs in simplified (and Taiwan) and (historical) traditional Chinese.

When simplified and traditional Chinese stroke orders differ, Japanese and simplified Chinese coincide. There are apparently no examples where all three share the same form but different stroke orders, though there are examples where the form differs in all three.

 * defaults to Simplified Chinese.
 * If there are multiple stroke order diagrams available, please include all forms.
 * To include Chinese and Japanese, use the parameter  for the Japanese stroke order: see.
 * To include traditional and simplified forms, you must currently do so manually: see.

Etymology
If possible, include “Etymology” section explaining the form of the character, listing earlier forms, and explaining the development of the character form.

Beware that there are many folk etymologies based on analyses of modern forms, with many dating to the 2nd century CE (when present forms largely stabilized)! Modern scholarship based on oracle bone script often provides different etymologies. See References.

Please do not include discussion of the etymology of the word (often Old Chinese) that the character was developed to represent; this belongs in the language-specific section. The Translingual "Etymology" section should not include pronunciation information, except when necessary to understand the form. This occurs for example in phono-semantic compounds, where reconstructions of the pronunciations of the compound character and its phonetic are relevant to the form, but sound is completely irrelevant to pictographs and ideographs. Reconstructed pronunciations should be cited and follow the usual rules for historical Sinitic languages – see About Old Chinese and About Middle Chinese for guidelines, and for an example.

Most characters were coined during the Old Chinese period; this needn’t be explicitly mentioned, but can be stated if helpful. If a character was not coined during the Old Chinese period – notably Middle Chinese or foreign coinages (especially Japanese, some Korean and Vietnamese), this should be mentioned.

Simplified and Shinjitai
For simplified Chinese and shinjitai character, the "Etymology" section should simply link to the traditional Chinese or kyūjitai and explain the method of simplification, as in Simplified Chinese characters: Methods of simplification and Shinjitai: Methods of simplifying Kanji. This can be done using the template, which also categorizes.

Traditional and coinages
For traditional Chinese and country-specific coinages, the "Etymology" section should:
 * Classify composition (see ). One should provide traditional classification using the template  and break up compound characters via . Note that:
 * The overwhelming majority of Chinese characters (90%+) are phono-semantic compounds.
 * Beware of folk etymologies based on current forms (especially claims that a character is an ideogrammic compound) – the current form is often a simplification of an older form, which may not be related to the current components. For instance, the lower part of is cognate to, not to , which it more closely resembles.
 * Show previous forms. These are collected at Wikimedia Commons, and the template will display them if they exist.
 * Note that older forms themselves had variants, which need not be exhaustively displayed.

Han character
The main section is the “Han character” section, using the template, which includes radical, stroke count, and various input methods.

Previously this is followed by definitions (still in “Han character”). This is deprecated and should not be used. Definitions should be placed under the language heading (“Japanese”).

This should also include a “Reference” section, using, which links to the character in various standard dictionaries, and includes the Unicode number (linking to Unihan in the process).

Etymology
(Explanation of form; ideally shows earlier forms.)

Compounds
Compounds and idioms involving a character (熟語) are listed language by language, since they vary between languages.

List compounds using a suitable Category:Column templates, generally or  if only listing compounds, or  or  if also providing a gloss. See 水 is an excellent example.

Compounds should be collated by radical-and-stroke sorting; for order of radicals, see Appendix:Chinese radical. However, as per About Japanese, compounds that begin with the character should come first.

As per About Japanese, terms involving a character should be listed in an L4 section called “Compounds” – by contrast, in the entry for a 2 or more character compound, longer compounds should be called “Derived terms”.

A separate L4 section called “Names” should contain any common names constructed from the character, even if such names duplicate a compound word.

Note that some pages list compounds as “Derived terms” in the “part of speech” section: contrast 日 and 天.

Compound entry
On the page for a compound (2 or more Chinese characters), some general considerations.

As above, longer compounds (containing a given compound) should be in a section called “Derived terms”.

If one compound is obtained from another by re-arranging the characters, such as and, it is useful to link these; the “Related terms” section fits best, presuming an etymological connection.

Chinese
For the layout of “Chinese” section, see About Chinese. The following is an example:

Japanese
In addition to L3 part of speech headings, Japanese entries for a Chinese character have an L3 heading called “Kanji”, which has an L4 heading called “Readings”, which can use the template. This currently supports the usual on, kun, and (rarer) nanori readings, but also nazuke and 呉音 (go-on) readings.

See About Japanese for more on the format of Japanese entries.

Korean
There should be an L3 heading for “Hanja”, beginning with the eumhun (meaning/reading), which can be obtained by the template. This also supports the following romanizations, via the respective parameters: Revised Romanization of South Korea (ehrv), McCune-Reischauer (ehmr), Yale Romanization of Korean (ehy).

Next there should be an L4 heading “Compounds”; in addition to the hanja form, it should also include hangeul forms for all words.

Vietnamese
Currently, the vast majority of Vietnamese character entries indicate Hán-Việt readings and omit Nôm readings. The layout has not been standardized, though most have a single L3 heading, "Han character", with below it.

Works in chữ Nôm are quoted in the part of speech section using the template. Any quốc ngữ works should be quoted in the corresponding quốc ngữ entry.

Note that most Nôm text includes characters not yet encoded in Unicode. Most Nôm sources make use of Private Use Area characters that are found in various Nôm fonts. Do not use Private Use Area characters, because they will be misinterpreted by readers with different Nôm fonts installed. Instead, use Ideographic Description Sequences. (See Template:vi-ruby for an example.)

Pronunciations and etymology generally belong in the quốc ngữ entry. Also in that entry, each headword line takes a list of characters (according to Nôm readings) as an additional parameter. Hán-Việt forms may be listed under an L3 "Readings" section using.

Proposal
There is a proposal at Beer parlour/2013/December that would do away with the current layout in favor of the following structure:

 * Character – "Han character" is avoided because it appears to exclude Nôm readings or Nôm-only characters.
 * Readings – Specify any Hán-Việt and Nôm readings using the template.
 * Compounds
 * part of speech (Noun, Verb, etc.) – Because Hán-Việt readings rarely differ from the definitions in the Translingual section, the parts of speech sections are for definitions of Nôm readings only. Use headword templates like and, listing Nôm readings in the first parameter.
 * References (if applicable)

Others
Chinese characters and similar scripts (see ) are used for other languages than those primarily discussed above.

Ryukyuan languages
Chinese characters are used for some, following the format for Japanese.

Minority languages in China
Some languages like Bai, Dong, Miao and Zhuang, like Vietnamese, are currently officially romanized, but used Chinese characters in the past, and have limited usage currently. These languages may uses some significant variant characters, not fully encoded in the Unicode Standard at present.

Although most of entries in these languages are in romanized script, entries in Chinese characters may exist. They may be soft redirected to entries in romanized script using an appropriate template (e.g. ).

Other scripts
The extinct languages of Khitan, Jurchen, and Tangut each use their own script, derived from Chinese characters. Characters in these scripts is not unified with Han characters, so information in this page does not apply to entries in these languages.

Some other scripts used in China are not derived from Chinese characters, but often have borrowed from Chinese. These notably include, , , and.

I found this place in 2002, after I encountered its mother project, Wikipedia. However, I did not start contributing here until mid-April 2003.

It's my belief that together, we can create a practical and unique multilingual dictionary.

So influenced by the Wikipedia, I often misspell "Wiktionary" as "Wikictionary".
