Linguist. Economist. Amateur Historian. Conlanger. Labour Activist.

I have been interested in documentation and books and the preservation and perpetuation of knowledge for as long as I can remember though I suppose I have had little in the way of formal education by most people's standards. Conlanging is another hobby that has spooled out of control and taken me in a wide direction away from whatever its origins were. The prospects of discovering or creating something novel are what keep me coming back to this subject. The only other for which I can say the same is dinosaurs.

Linguistics PhD student, amateur novelist and (increasingly occasional) conlanger. Creator of Viksen and Greater Atlian among other languages.

I am Taraiph, but you can call me Tara, or the ultimate scumbag. I work on Sarikan most of the time, when I'm not playing games, that is. Most days you will find me on the freenode IRC server, frequenting ##cbb, ##conlang, and ##universesandbox, or you can catch me on twitch watching Archaellys or CobaltStreak. I can also be found on the reddit Conlang page and, once in a blue moon, on skype.

I just like to write. I've had a setting in mind that has sort of existed for over a decade, with much revision along the way (and more to come, probably). I study linguistics and am a few credit-hours away from a degree.

Author of Harmless Free Radicals and The Epic of Sally, and teller of the tales of The Children of 'e.  Writer of Fenekere and Maofrrao.

Software engineer / Computational Linguist; BA, MA Linguistics; BS Physics
