Who is the blogger?

My name is Steffen Haurholm-Larsen, I'm a graduate from the department of American Indigenous Languages and Cultures at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and am a fortunate and greatful grantee of the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) which funds fieldwork aiming to document those languages of the world whose existence is threatened in some way. These are languages whose speakers are experiencing pressure to abandon their language due to local or national, social, political or economic conditions among others.
While I was studying for my MA I did fieldwork on Garifuna, another indigenous language of Honduras, and later I worked with speakers of Nawatl, spoken in Mexico, on a dictionary of their language.

As of May 2012 I will be a doctoral student at Universität Zürich, Switzerland. My doctoral research will be a typological morphological study with focus on one or two languages of Latin America; this means that I will be comparing certain features of these languages to a range of other languages on the American continent and the rest of the world.
