Hello, hello.
My name is Jake and I am a 19 year old music student from England.
You may find me working on random English entries, quite often music-related, or anything else which takes my fancy...
My specialities are Eskimo-Aleut languages, namely Greenlandic, other dialects of Greenland and some Inuktitut. I'm also interested in languages of the Pacific, such as Fijian and Samoan.
Feel free to write on my Talk page if you have anything you wish to discuss.
TO DO
- inu- derivatives, Swadesh list, maani etc., affixes/affix Appendix, Proto-Eskimo/Proto-Inupik/Proto-Yupik Appendices, Language names/Countries, stealing words from .gl websites and books, demonstrative pronouns with aa(j)- prefix also, possibly create demonstrative pronouns appendix, get a life
Category for music intervals? Clean up music entries and clarify discrepancies between American/British English.
