iOS 9 Dictionary Manager Not Working

The built-in dictionary on iOS 9 is not working. When I select a word and tap "Define," the dictionary pops-up and reads, "No definition found," so I tap on "Manage" in the lower left corner, and it takes me over to another screen where the dictionary list should be, but instead i have a blank list. The back button and gray divider lines show up but nothing else, so I am not able to download any dictionaries. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.3

Exact same problem - cannot manage dictionaries on multiple iOS 9 (9.3.3) devices (no delete or download features available). I have tried resetting settings, adding/deleting languages, accessing from different apps and same result (manage doesn't work anymore). Has apple removed support for dictionaries?

Same issue here, on 9.3.3. And from looking around, this seems to be going on from the release of iOS 9. It's as if the dictionary manager doesn't see Apple's servers.
