From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia pages and I'm not very good at it yet, as a linguistics major some of my edits seem to be adding IPA transcriptions to pages, especially for Punjabi since I have a pretty good grasp of Punjabi phonology though I'm not fluent and I know the standard transcription methods. Mostly though I just fix little errors I notice. I'm also learning Kanien'keha and want to get my prof's help to write the text for Kanien'keha Babel boxes.

I'm much more active on Wiktionary. Historical linguistics is my one true love and I add etymologies to Punjabi words when I can, from Turner's comparative dictionary of Indo-Aryan languages. I have also created most of the pages for Proto Iroquoian and Proto North Iroquoian on Wiktionary. Most of what I do though is just cleaning up mistakes I see, though my biggest accomplishments have probably been fixing some of the declension boxes for Punjabi.
