Personal Info
My name is Jonathan North Washington, and my personal website can be found at jnw.name; I also maintain a site for fun at firespeaker.org. I work on Turkic languages and linguistics—especially phonetics, phonological theory, historical linguistics, descriptive linguistics, and RBMT. I used to be a conlanger in my free time.
