This page is a documentation page for Telugu (Q8097) language lexemes in WikiProject Lexicographical data, for assisting contributions to Telugu lexeme content. Telugu is a Dravidian language spoken by more than 80 million people predominantly of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Wikidata:Lexicographical data project aims to provide a CC0 licensed structured lexicographical data for everyone to use for different purposes, including for Wiktionary, the upcoming Abstract Wikipedia and external projects. It aims to store all words of all languages in a structured model under a CC0 (public domain dedication) license.

Layout

Every lexeme entry has the following layout:

Lemma (dictionary form) of the lexeme as title or headword, along with lexeme ID. Language code and lexical category is also given.
- Senses - different meanings of the same word
  - Statements for senses. This usually includes image, item for this sense, translation, synonym, antonym, usage example, and more (see list). Note that for translation, antonym, & synonym properties, the lexeme "sense ID" (LXXXXX-S1) of the target lexeme has to be copy pasted, not the lexeme ID.
- Forms - different forms and cases of the lexeme
