This list tracks the status of indexes for the various languages appearing in Wiktionary. It should show only those languages for which indexing has begun. It includes information about whether that index has only a simple list or a multipage index, and whether a multipage index follows a standardized format.
In a sense the standardized format is very arbitrary, and has been pursued in the absence of alternatives being proposed. At the top level for a language the format is Index:Language. When there is enough material to warrant splitting the index, this is being done by letter, using subpages like Index:Language/a with the referenced letter in lower case. There should not be made any distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters. Appropriate modifications need to be made for scripts that are not strictly alphabetic (e.g., Chinese).
Some language lists have been further sub-divided, but no standard has yet been suggested.
Category:Language indexes serves the same purpose as this list but is automated. For a more general list of languages and their indexes see Wiktionary:List of languages or Category:All languages.
For Swadesh vocabulary word lists of various languages, see Appendix:Swadesh lists.
The following language indexes are periodically updated by Conrad.Bot:
The following languages are not permitted in the main namespace of Wiktionary, but have indices. Some are complete, due to a limited list of canonical terms, and others lack most vocabulary.
