Simple English Wikipedia

The Simple English Wikipedia is an English-language version of Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, written in a language that is easy to understand but is still natural and grammatical.

The language used here is plain English, without idioms, slang and jargon (when possible). Some articles are written only in Basic English, which is even simpler.
