Hello, my name is André and I'm 26 years old. I come from Leipzig where I'm studying Linguistics and Sinology at the local university. I'm interested in languages and linguistics, especially phonetics, phonology and typology, as well as writing systems and constructed languages (esp. Esperanto and Klingon. My interests also include movies, science (especially astronomy and quantum physics) and to a limited extend geography. I collect dictionaries — they sum up to 316 books in 170 different languages. See my dictionaries for the entire list.
For more information about my life, you can read my blog here: http://n-true.livejournal.com/
P.S.: I collect the word for the number 47 ("forty-seven") in as many languages as possible. You can see my collection (612 languages so far) here. I do the same with the word for water, for which I have 2,425 languages now (the list is not online, though). In case you know any further translation or if you can correct anything, please leave me a message on my talk page here or as a comment in my LiveJournal. Thank you!
