Hello polyglots, 😀
On this page you will learn more about the Sci–Tech Index.
Background
It is a project for science and technology learners, to cover concepts from primary schools to colleges.
I used to be the top student in the primary school on all subjects, but somehow lost interests in the school lectures. As I became an adolescent, I had difficulty to focus on those science lessons, because as the Internet became widespread, I discovered the overwhelmingly attractive world that those little buildings and the plentiful boring adults couldn't create, especially computer games. It's not the Internet's fault, because other things such as Chinese martialist fictions would attract me as well. That is adolescence. I decided to learn science, so I can explore the truth of the world, even if I was at the bottom in the class on that.
Those formations of pixel and electromagnetic vibrations were so powerful, altering my mood as they wish. But as time goes by, my horizon is broadened and my thinking is more organized, they could no longer be amazing as before for me. Besides that, most things have been losing their glamour as I become more and more familiar with them. Science and technology are not aloft as well. The only way to keep them fresh is to innovate with them.
“What can I do that helps myself and other people, to keep motivated in learning science?” I found out many reasons, like the abuse in the school by teachers, horrible teaching methods, but they are not what I can do with. I feel lucky that I could meet a few teachers that truly put students above most other things, including much of their own spare time, in such a Machiavellian world. I became aware that there should be a guide for everyone, in case they don't have the chance to meet people that improve their life fundamentally.
That's the story of why Sci-Tech Index came into being. I thought about creating a “concept catalogue”, then when I was creating flashcards with scientific terms, I made it briefer than the prototype and it's online.
Rule
The standard of symbol usage is this:
- Commas are used to separate synonyms by enumeration;
- Semicolons are used to separate non-synonyms by enumeration;
- Round brackets are used to indicate a specific meaning of a polyseme in the current page;
- Square brackets are used to indicate irregular properties of a word including its gender, plural form and irregular verb class;
- Angle brackets (less-than and greater-than signs in fact) are used to indicate the location of an entry that is not on the current page;
- Curly brackets are used to indicate the text escaped from above mentioned rules;
- Upward and downward arrows are used to indicate pitch accents for languages with two pitches;
- Flat, Natural, Sharp signs of music are used to indicate pitch accents for languages with three pitches;
As for the choice of name in multiple synonyms for a concept, the most precise one is chosen as the identifier and placed at first. If multiple names have the same precision, then the most commonly used one is placed before the other.
Tip
If the column you are working with is far away from the first, you can try editing source or if you wish to continue using the visual editor, you can open a new window of the page and align the windows side-by-side.
Pick the entries you are familiar with. It is not necessary to translate one by one because the corresponding words of some entries are not easily found in a language.
Outlook
Further plans are writing a program that automatically fill the “prerequisite” except for eng-Latn-US, a program that sorts the entries in alphabetic order of eng-Latn-US, a program that checks redundant prerequisites, a program that allows finding what can be learned from what have been learned, a program that can be used to search.
If you want to download all the tables to spreadsheets, you will need open-source tools like Copytables for Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
If you want to add a language-script-region triplex and have trouble adding columns, please contact me.
Specification
[nld] Dutch
- has noun genders
[eng] English
- has plural form of nouns when irregular
[deu] German
- has noun genders when without adjective declension
[fra] French

English pronunciation has been considered because of its irregularity, but the problem is 2-dimensional: there is no standard language or standard set of phonetic symbols for English. The phonetic notations vary from dictionary to dictionary. So this topic is suspended.
