Wiktionaries

Note: This table has not been kept as up-to-date as the Wikipedia table above. As of 15 February 2011, the languages are now in the correct cells of the table, but many dates are still unknown (and so much of the chronology is also wrong). You can help by looking through the milestone announcements in the archives of this page (still to be checked: 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 — although note that only a few languages have enjoyed regular milestone announcements), or the page histories of List of Wiktionaries (back to 26 January 2008) and Wiktionary (more haphazard record keeping, back to 8 July 2004) to see what dates the different milestones were achieved.
