The Simple English Wikipedia is a modified English language edition of Wikipedia written primarily in Basic English and Learning English.2 It is one of ten Wikipedias written in an Anglic language or English-based pidgin or creole. The site has the stated aim of providing an encyclopedia "for everyone, such as children and adults who are learning English".3
"SE Wikipedia" redirects here. For Wikipedia in the Sámi language, see Northern Sámi Wikipedia.
Simple English Wikipedia's basic presentation style makes it helpful for beginners learning English.4 Its simpler word structure and syntax, while missing some nuances, can make information easier to understand when compared with the regular English Wikipedia.
