Wiktionary has grown beyond a standard dictionary and now includes a [[Wiktionary:Thesaurus|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 to really understand it. Thus [[etymology|etymologies]], pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations are included.</div>
