From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm an astrophysicist who works as an engineer. I'm interested in science, languages, fantasy fiction, and constructed languages. I got interested in wikipedia due to the controversy about how conlangs should be covered, and have made a few contributions to the policy debate. I've also created articles about a few conlangs that I believe are significant contributions to the art, namely Lingua Ignota, Kélen and Teonaht. I also added to the article on relexification to document the slightly divergent use of the term in the conlanging community, and added mentions of Lingua Ignota and to the articles on constructed languages and St Hildegard of Bingen. I also added a reference to an academic paper in the artistic languages article - somebody has since copied this reference over into the conlangs article.
