Hello!
I’m Tom Dougherty, a PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. I grew up outside of Baltimore, Maryland, and currently live in Honolulu, Hawai‘i.
My research in linguistics focuses on historical linguistics. I am interested in the languages of the Pacific, specifically Yapese. I have also worked on some of the minority languages of Japan, including Ainu, a now-dormant language isolate, and Okinawan, an endangered language related to Japanese.
