ミャンマー北部のチベット・ビルマ諸語の記述とドキュメンテーションを進めています

My research interest lies in Southeast Asian languages, with a special focus on Tibeto-Burman languages of northern Myanmar. My research is grounded in fieldwork, exploring the linguistic phenomena observed in these languages and their implications for the diversity and universality of language. Additionally, I am working on elucidating aspects of comparative Sino-Tibetan linguistics and delving into Southeast Asian areal linguistics. Simultaneously, I collaborate with speech communities in northern Myanmar for the documentation, archiving, and revitalization of their languages and cultures.
