My name is Andrew Hsiu (or "Andy Hsiu", 修至誠).

From 2012-2015, I traveled extensively around the world to collect data on various endangered languages of southern China and Southeast Asia. Inspired by Jerold Edmondson's audio recordings collected during his northern Vietnam expedition during the late 1990's, I decided to collect basic vocabulary word lists of various undocumented or under-documented language varieties. I have focused primarily on "divergent" languages (or "basal clades" using the terminology of biological taxonomy) that would provide us with important clues on how languages evolved and how the 5 language phyla of Southeast Asia had dispersed.
