==What is LSJ==
The ''Liddell, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon'' ([[LSJ:GreekEnglishLexicon|LSJ]]) is perhaps the best known Ancient  Greek-English dictionary. Here you can find a wiki implementation aiming to massively improve upon the dictionary resources in [[LSJ:About#Objectives|numerous ways]] like '''adding missing translations''' and '''expanding lexicographical shorthand''' into clarity among others.
Different types of [[Help:Contents#Transliterations_and_forms|transliterations and word forms]] were used, so that everyone is happy: '''Ancient Greek scholars''', '''speakers of Modern Greek''', people who prefer '''transliterated Greek''' or [https://www.translatum.gr/converter/beta-code.htm Beta Code].
For example, you will get results on the search box no matter whether you type in '''polytonic Greek, monotonic Greek, Greek without any accents at all''', or '''transliterated Greek'''. You can even add a [[Help:Contents#Search_form_to_use_on_your_website|search form on your web site or a quick search link on your browser]].
Over time, the site was enriched with more content and languages as outlined below, turning it into a classics hub.

Now, multiply the above procedure to 130,000 or so LSJ entries (many of which are much more extensive and complex than the example cited here), as well as hundreds of thousands of entries from other dictionaries (a total of '''50 million words'''), and you get an idea of the [[LSJ:About#Objectives|scope]] of this project (which, by the way, is '''not funded''' by anybody).
