Hello, I'm Smashhoof. I'm a graduate student in the US studying Computer Science. In my undergraduate, I studied both linguistics and computer science. My main interest in linguistics is historical linguistics of Bantu languages, or Niger-Congo languages more generally. I studied Zulu for nearly 4 years, so that's the language I'm most familiar with other than English. On Wiktionary, I like to code modules or just add new entries for African languages. I also like to find etymologies and compile lists of cognate words for descendant lists.
