Initially called "Project Sourceberg" when it began in 2003 (a play on the already existing non-Wikimedia project with similar goals, Project Gutenberg), it branched into subdivisions for individual languages by 2005. Now Wikisource libraries house books, novels, essays, historical documents, poems, letters, speeches and other documents, so long as they can be made available under the CC-BY-SA open content license. Name, Slogan, Logo [edit] Original Wikisource logo See the multilingual chart "Wikisource – The Free Library", for the name of the project and its slogan in many dozens of languages. The Wikisource Logo changed during the history of the project. It was originally a .jpg image (as seen above), but is now an .svg image of the iceberg (as seen at top of this page). List of Wikisources [edit] This is a list of Wikisource language subdomains. See Wikisource:Languages for a list of languages without their own subdomains; these are housed at the Multilingual Wikisource. These statistics are updated several times a day. You might need to purge the cache to see the latest numbers. № Language Wiki Text units All pages Edits Admins Users Active users Files 1 Chinese zh 3,415,468 6,427,966 8,700,743 9 122,860 264 230 2 Polish pl 1,318,408 1,359,562 4,160,547 14 42,157 75 127 3 English en 1,125,133 4,849,316 16,229,012 20 3,304,312 620 16,661 4 French fr 706,171 4,793,996 15,983,766 17 164,876 272 4,422 5 German de 652,468 711,294 5,013,314 16 91,219 144 6,933 6 Russian ru 623,165 1,142,598 5,737,574 5 135,586 112 33,403 7 Ukrainian uk 399,793 568,384 1,101,194 5 22,425 136 139 8 Hebrew he 260,783 1,681,051 3,075,431 16 46,120 120 594 9 Italian it 222,232 874,970 3,872,958 9 81,658 74 675 10 Arabic ar 94,276 290,432 617,612 5 72,712 61 4,024 11 Spanish es 89,732 340,633 1,671,404 8 96,921 64 231 12 Gujarati gu 65,954 72,236 224,070 2 4,617 10 0 13 Multilingual www 65,745 258,427 1,355,618 14 493,068 133 731 14 Czech cs 62,407 91,818 335,787 2 20,087 24 7 15 Serbian sr 43,908 48,722 145,409 7 16,411 13 360 16 Portuguese pt 39,064 166,921 558,885 2 43,463 77 32 17 Bangla bn 38,727 614,750 1,993,713 4 22,081 41 5,476 18 Tamil ta 37,384 641,779 1,956,216 4 16,757 55 33 19 Armenian hy 36,172 146,653 393,798 4 13,989 18 62 20 Persian fa 33,639 84,586 297,005 3 39,855 32 0 21 Swedish sv 32,608 219,885 657,024 5 18,873 22 8 22 Belarusian be 30,152 124,510 295,525 2 5,387 19 0 23 Korean ko 25,456 89,812 457,940 5 19,582 44 209 24 Telugu te 23,792 212,188 567,660 4 7,200 28 494 25 Hungarian hu 21,822 39,120 103,603 3 12,347 7 27 26 Dutch nl 21,477 81,518 224,980 2 17,373 14 0 27 Latin la 21,303 81,515 276,370 7 32,726 42 45 28 Malayalam ml 20,834 81,629 239,271 3 13,503 47 620 29 Sanskrit sa 20,427 163,910 418,027 2 10,653 26 64 30 Turkish tr 19,908 31,446 174,218 2 26,649 26 122 31 Vietnamese vi 19,098 66,720 205,872 3 20,461 29 2 32 Japanese ja 18,527 49,182 245,086 4 46,315 45 0 33 Slovenian sl 18,308 36,245 224,412 5 10,650 16 340 34 Welsh cy 16,606 84,983 170,526 2 4,201 26 3 35 Romanian ro 15,673 44,658 151,427 3 22,597 17 221 36 Norwegian no 14,744 139,195 330,924 2 6,292 7 815 37 Finnish fi 13,841 22,271 131,005 3 8,098 11 46 38 Indonesian id 13,581 105,205 313,935 9 27,459 97 303 39 Esperanto eo 13,515 40,649 126,359 3 5,447 12 29 40 Neapolitan nap 12,945 14,626 91,026 3 2,718 6 0 41 Greek el 12,867 46,030 167,057 6 22,797 36 4 42 Urdu ur 11,921 13,916 35,718 1 282 13 0 43 Azerbaijani az 11,838 24,935 96,785 2 12,761 39 1 44 Breton br 10,539 65,513 208,758 3 2,989 6 0 45 Catalan ca 10,507 56,816 185,519 3 12,039 10 5 46 Croatian hr 9,623 15,769 63,403 3 7,487 11 433 47 Thai th 9,613 65,338 294,913 2 12,462 24 27 48 Georgian ka 7,018 8,247 78,404 1 866 4 0 49 Hindi hi 6,048 188,151 649,078 5 6,106 31 0 50 Venetian vec 5,798 19,381 86,735 2 4,768 4 0 51 Balinese ban 5,186 36,447 123,467 2 1,756 6 0 52 Marathi mr 5,145 109,786 235,754 2 6,139 17 15 53 Burmese my 4,879 6,214 21,867 1 847 9 0 54 Icelandic is 4,758 6,411 30,070 1 3,714 4 8 55 Piedmontese pms 4,414 5,315 38,002 2 1,445 6 0 56 Ligurian lij 4,395 16,874 47,791 1 1,219 17 0 57 Assamese as 4,192 92,343 257,570 4 4,480 16 239 58 Danish da 3,966 121,769 480,852 2 11,264 22 6 59 Macedonian mk 3,371 8,232 22,381 2 4,027 3 4 60 Estonian et 3,337 23,226 60,153 1 4,181 5 48 61 Javanese jv 3,294 26,291 82,570 3 2,003 26 149 62 Yiddish yi 2,639 5,463 20,564 1 3,482 4 1,056 63 Walloon wa 2,602 6,440 36,686 1 996 10 0 64 Punjabi pa 2,529 72,518 232,334 6 2,717 32 212 65 Bulgarian bg 2,336 4,042 18,779 1 6,266 9 7 66 Limburgish li 1,885 3,370 7,314 1 2,307 3 1 67 Lithuanian lt 1,802 3,201 12,838 1 3,946 7 1 68 Kannada kn 1,555 112,689 315,012 2 8,597 14 18 69 Basque eu 1,547 7,045 28,970 1 1,571 5 0 70 Odia or 1,309 12,484 59,622 1 3,051 7 0 71 Malay ms 1,252 8,781 24,179 2 1,336 13 0 72 Yakut sah 739 2,233 10,248 2 2,363 7 3 73 Galician gl 712 3,703 21,942 2 3,835 6 64 74 Bosnian bs 646 3,342 12,179 1 3,625 7 61 75 Slovak sk 501 1,594 9,589 1 3,963 5 1 76 Minangkabau min 414 9,227 30,789 2 393 19 0 77 Sundanese su 410 12,885 47,871 1 1,138 11 0 78 Tagalog tl 338 2,328 15,737 3 412 8 0 79 Madurese mad 207 1,164 4,471 2 370 4 0 80 Minnan zh-min-nan 159 3,592 11,224 1 2,902 3 2 81 Central Bikol bcl 137 2,469 10,264 0 478 1 0 82 Tulu tcy 113 4,773 21,872 2 619 7 0 83 Faroese fo 79 611 3,844 1 2,594 3 0 Totals Text units All pages Edits Admins Users Active users Files All active Wikisources 9,891,866 28,136,319 83,052,421 322 5,350,298 3,380 79,853 Wikisources in Wikipedia [edit] Seven Wikisources are hosted as seperate namespaces within their appropriate language's Wikipedia.
