The Dictionary

The Dictionary, for example, features 251 languages and is committed to preserve languages in danger of extinction, by allocating the same prominence to each language irrespective of the number of people who speak it or of the political/economic weight of the country in which it is spoken.

About the Dictionary

A unique living record on the Web of the world’s languages and cultures.
The pioneering initiative was setup in 1994 with the aim to preserve linguistic and cultural diversity. This initiative comes at a time when more than 6,000 languages spoken in the world are in danger of extinction over the next century.
A pioneering Web community was born with the Dictionary, now with more than 4,500 professional contributors sharing knowledge and expanding the languages featured daily in order to preserve and share their language and culture.
Always growing, today the Dictionary features 8 million words.
The Dictionary enables language exchange across 251 languages.
Languages on the verge of extinction stand side by side to the world’s most widely spoken languages.
The Dictionary is one of the most visited sites of its kind on the Web.
In addition to the translation of a word, The Living Dictionary provides definition, grammar, synonym, antonym, image, pronunciation, etc.
