I am a historical linguist from Taiwan. My research focuses primarily on languages of East and Southeast Asia, especially Kra-Dai languages. I wrote my dissertation on Ong-Be, a Kra-Dai branch on the northwestern Hainan island of China. I also research language contact. 

I publish under both CHEN Yen-ling (Mandarin) and TAN Gan-ling (Taiwanese Southern Min). You can email me at be.savina [at] gmail [dot] com
