Céad míle fáilte! Seán Dante Iaróm Ó Cuinn is ainm dom (sé/é) agus is é seo mo shuíomh gréasáin. Is mac léinn in Ionad Iarchéime in Ollscoil Chathair Nua-Eabhrac mé agus déanaim staidéar ar theangeolaíocht, go háirithe athbheochan teanga agus na teangacha Algancacha.

My name is Shane Dante Jerome Quinn (he/him) and I am a Level I PhD student at the City University of New York Graduate Center. Based in Lenapehoking, my research centers on Algonquian languages. Recently I have worked with Unami (Lënapei Lixsëwakàn) verbal morphology, in particular inverse marking. I am greatly interested in language reclamation and raising up languages that have been put down. It is my hope that my research work can forward the vitality of the language.

I have served as a Teaching Assistant for two semesters in Introduction to Linguistics courses at Brooklyn College, which has included lecturing a number of times.

As for my background, I am originally from Boston and received my BA and MS from Georgetown University, where my studies centered on sociolinguistics and Afroasiatic languages.

Regarding the banner, “nulelìntàm èli paàn” means “welcome”, said to one person, in Unami Lenape:
n-wëlelintàm èli pa-àn
1.indep-be.glad because come-2s.conj
“I am glad that you came”
Listen here or here with the Lenape Talking Dictionary.

As for my own name, I say it as /ʃeɪn ˈdɑnteɪ d͡ʒɪˈɹoʊm kwɪn/, but I acknowledge that my first name is a variation of the Irish name Seán. I also happily go by Dante. بالعربية أكتب اسمي هكذا: شين دانتي جيروم كوين (لاحظ أن الاسم الأيرلندي “شين” يعادل الاسم العربي “يوحنا”); 我用漢字寫我的名字: 秦善; 제 이름을 이렇게 한글로 써요: 퀸셰인.
