Maaz Shaikh (འཇིགས་མེད།)

Hi! I'm Maaz Ahmad Shaikh (འཇིགས་མེད), a Ph.D. Research Scholar at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

This channel is dedicated to linguistics, with a focus on language documentation, preservation, and revitalization. My current work revolves around documenting Zangskari, an endangered Tibetic language spoken in the Zangskar region of Ladakh, India. Through these videos, I aim to raise awareness about lesser-known languages and contribute to their preservation by sharing recordings, and community narratives.
