Hello! My name is pronounced as [ˈtʲæːŋɡəxɰiː] (approximate English pronunciation /ˈt͡ʃæŋ.ɡə.xi/). You might have also seen me as @Ilmarisen Vasara. Currently studying Finnish and English languages and literatures at university. I'm a native Italian and Sicilian speaker and an intermediate learner of Finnish, Irish and Catalan.

My main interest is linguistics and languages, particularly:

The English language;
The Finnish language;
The Irish language;
Orthography and orthographic reforms;
Romance languages;
Sociolinguistics and minoritized languages;
Linguistic typology.

I can also translate from Italian to English, and proofread translations.

The articles I've created are listed here.

My work on Wikipedia (and to do list)

I often correct information about the languages above in various articles, as well as add the Lang, Langx, IPA and Gloss templates.

I have extensively worked on, or I am currently working on, the following articles and sections.

Language and linguistics

Article	What I've done	What's to be done (see also here and here)
Languages of Finland	added sources to most statements	expand and restructure ask for reassessment
Liquid consonant	significant restructuring reassessed → on 30 April 2024	typology and geographic distribution areas where liquids are absent
Sicily#Languages	added languages other than Sicilian
Sicilian language	corrected information on phonology	deal with phonology description (too orthography-based) fix structure/headings fix "Influence on Italian" section (based only on vocabulary, might violate WP:DICT) distinguish between influence on regional It. and standard It.
Assamese language	fixed grammar and tone corrected/expanded phonology
Realizational morphology	discussed a move (not moved)	restructure/add to the article per talk page move discussion (?) add "name and classification" section to explain WP=real., WP>real. and WP<real. based on relbl. sources
Orthography		multiple issues
