Hi, we are a family of five originating from Dresden. (German page)

From 1997-2006, we lived in Kondoa among the Rangi people of Tanzania.

I am a linguistics consultant with SIL International (see me in action).

I am also doing a part-time PhD programme by research at the
Linguistics Department (LEL) of the University of Edinburgh.

Info on the Rangi language is available from the Ethnologue.
