Link to Japanese dictionary
editThis page is linked to ja:国語辞典 (Japanese dictionary), but it it NOT appropriate for Japanese Wikipedia. Because the article here mainly describe the English dictionary; not describe "the dictionary in Japanese".
Therefore, I suggest this article should be linked to ja:英英辞典 (which means English dictionary) instead.
I noticed that English dictionary is Redirected here. -- Koolmint (talk) 10:49, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

In this phrase:
between the 8th and 14th centuries CE
please remove the CE. By this point in the article, the context is clearly CE, not BCE, and anyway if this were BCE we'd say "between the 14th and 8th centuries". 123.51.107.94 (talk) 01:27, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Outdated lede
editThe current lede, "A dictionary is a listing of lexemes from the lexicon of one or more specific languages..." is quite anachronistic. Dictionaries nowadays aren't limited to a listing of lexemes. Countless phrases, clauses, and even sentences are among the terms listed and defined in ordinary dictionary.
