Ep #37: Austronesian languages of West Timor and Historical Linguistics The Polyglot Podcast

In this episode, I'll be talking with Tamisha Tan, a current linguistics student studying at Harvard University and who will be sharing all about her research on the Austronesian languages of West Timor as well as the field of historical linguistics. We'll be discussing topics from how historical languages can inform our understanding of modern languages, how dialectical differences form, and the process behind how historical linguists decipher languages.
