About this blog
This blog contains my musings on language and linguistics. I write about the meanings and origins of words and phrases; language learning techniques; language courses and other learning resources; languages and cultures, and anything else that interests me, from a linguistic perspective.

Who am I?
My name is Simon Ager, I live in Bangor in North Wales and earn a living from my website, Omniglot.com. My main passions are languages and music.

What’s an Omniglot?
Omniglot is a word I coined back in 1998. Originally it was the name of a web design and translation business I tried to set up, and it later became the name of my Online encyclopedia of writing systems and languages.
