Welcome to the Indo-European Etymology Dictionary, a collaborative project to produce a free-content multilingual etymology dictionary.

Designed as the lexical companion to Modern Indo-European, the Proto-Indo-European language revival project, the Indo-European Etymology Dictionary project goes beyond a standard dictionary and should include a thesaurus, a rhyme guide, phrase books, language statistics and extensive appendices. We aim to include not only the definition of a word, but also enough information about its Proto-Indo-European roots to really understand it. Thus etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations are included.

Indo-European Etymology Dictionary is a wiki, which means that you can edit it, and all the content is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. Before you contribute, you may wish to read through some of our Help pages, and bear in mind that we do things quite differently from other wikis. In particular we have strict layout conventions and inclusion criteria. Learn how to start a page, how to edit entries, experiment in the sandbox and visit our Community Portal to see how you can participate in the development of the Indo-European Etymology Dictionary.
