This is a section for articles about language, languages, linguistics, translation, interpreting, lexicography, writing, learning languages, teaching languages and related topics.
Are you a linguist, a language teacher, a translator, an interpreter, a polyglot, a linguaphile, studying languages/linguistics or invovled in any other langauge-related field? Well, here is an opportunity for you to share interesting aspects of your work/life with the visitors to Omniglot.
Articles can be long or short, serious or lighthearted, fact or fiction, and in any language - as long as they have something to do with language. If you write in a language I can't read, please provide a translation or summary in: English, français, Deutsch, español, italiano, português, Esperanto, Cymraeg, Gaeilge, Gàidhlig, Gaelg, 中文 (繁體或简体) or 日本語.
You can send your articles as plain text, Word or PDF. Feel free to include illustrations, photos, audio, video, animation, etc. but try to keep file sizes as small as possible.
Please provide a brief paragraph about youself, including details like where you come from, what you do for a living, etc. You can also include your contact details. This may generate some enquiries and maybe even some business for you - this site is visited by over half a million people each month. Please do not send me your CV.
If you would like to copy or re-use any of these articles, please ask the authors for permission. Contact details of the authors can be found at the bottom of each article in most cases, if they're not there, please contact me, and I'll try to find them for you.
