"Simple English" is a language on Wikipedia


The Simple English Wikipedia (simplewiki) is a Simple English language version of Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, written in a language that is easy to understand but is still natural and grammatical.[1] The articles in the Simple English Wikipedia use shorter sentences and easier words and grammar than the regular English Wikipedia.[2] This makes articles easier to understand and change. When Simple English Wikipedia started making pages and allowing changes in 2003, the English Wikipedia already had 150,000 articles.
