Marian Klamer is a linguist who studies how languages influence one another. She specialises in the native languages of eastern Indonesia. The hundreds of different languages spoken in this region display both similarities and crucial differences. Klamer was the first to document and describe many of these languages. Along with her fellow researchers, she created a public database of information on over 140 minority languages that are threatened with extinction.
