My name is Simon Ager, I live in Bangor in north Wales and earn my living from my website, Omniglot.com - the online encyclopedia of writing systems and languages. I also write and talk about language-related topics on my blogs and podcasts. All the content I produce is freely available. My website generates income from advertising and your generous donations, and you can support it by buying me a coffee.
I've always been interested in languages, and studied French and German at school, Chinese and Japanese at university, and have done classes in Welsh and Irish. I've taught myself some other languages as well. I also enjoy reading, singing, playing musical instruments, and writing songs and tunes.

I love the depth of information you've kept stored on omniglot.com. It's become harder and harder to find these types of websites, where it's someone/folks with passion for a specific subject, working hard to condense as much as they can down into a single website. I'm sharing this with friends who enjoy world-building to give them some more inspiration.

Been using this site for nearly 20 years (almost positive), absolutely love it and rely on it for all my nerdy needs. Helped me get my start with Arabic, Ancient Greek, and Cyrillic. Love all the ancient scripts and the detailed research included in each. Thank you.
