About
I received my B.A. in Germanic Studies from Indiana University, however, since the age of 16, I've auto-didactically studied Linguistics. I am interested in many of its fields, namely: phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. Currently, my focus is on languages of Burma (Myanmar), a country in Southeast Asia located between Thailand, India, and China. The language I am currently studying, Sizang Chin, is a member of the Kuki-Chin branch of Tibeto-Burman. A language family whose "parent" is Sino-Tibetan, making many languages of China its "sibling" (using layman terms). Currently, I'm interested in Language Documentation, Language Revitalization (some prefer the term Language Reclamation, to avoid the metaphor of language death), and Field Linguistics. I hope to contribute much to experiment while I'm here, and I hope to obtain a Ph.D. in Linguistics and become a tenured Professor.Joined
