I am a professional philologist of the older Germanic Languages (Gothic, Old Norse, Old and Middle English, Old and Middle High German, Old Saxon, Old Low Franconian = Old Dutch, Middle Dutch). Sorry, my Frisian is too limited to warrant mentioning in that list. My special interests are in historical phonology, the literature and language of the medieval Germanic language, and dialects.

So far, I have been working on only a few articles, particularly:

  • Heinrich von Veldeke. I have a research project (currently on hold) on the transmission and edition of his Eneas.
  • Old Dutch. I have been working extensively on the oldest stages of what would later become Dutch, and the crossover dialects into High German and am currently making a nuisance of myself on the talk page of the English entry for "Old Dutch." Sorry for the inconvenience.

As a speaker of Dutch, German, and English, you can find me on Wikipedia of those three languages.
