Welcome to the Lushootseed Wiktionary, currently in beta version!

The goal of this dictionary is to translate every word in every dialect of Lushootseed into English and the other languages of the world. See also Lushootseed Wiki for the online Lushootseed encyclopedia.

This wiki can be edited by anyone, but to reduce vandalism, you must first create an account and verify it by e-mail.

To create a new entry, enter the word in the search box in the upper right corner of any page and press enter. An option will appear to create a new entry if it does not yet exist. Please note that all Lushootseed entries should start with a small letter ("sqigʷəc" not "Sqigʷəc"), and English entries should start with a capital letter only when that is the standard form ("Monday," "Washington," etc.)

To learn about formatting wiki pages, see Wikipedia Editing page.

• Rule for the Lushootseed Wiktionary: For easier searching, entry words in Lushootseed should not have accent marks. They can be added as alternative spellings. See swədəbš for an example.
