Category:Linguistics

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, and someone who engages in this study is called a linguist or linguistician.

I am very interested in this field, but more of as a hobby than as a career. In any case, I will document what I learn about this field in this category.

I also speak a few languages and am learning more. Below is a list of the languages I speak either fluently or with a working knowledge (and continually improving):

• English (mother-tongue)
• German (college level)
• Spanish (college level)
• Italian (learning)
• French (learning)
