Brief Profile

Dr Anthony Jukes began his career conducting linguistic research on languages of Sulawesi, Indonesia. His PhD thesis (University of Melbourne, 2006) is a reference grammar of Makassarese (South Sulawesi), with special attention to the literary genre contained in manuscripts written in an obsolete local script. Between 2005 and 2007 Anthony was a post-doctoral research fellow at the School of Oriental and African Studies, UK, supported by the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme. His research project was to document and describe Toratán (Ratahan), a highly endangered language spoken by about 150 people in a handful of villages located in North Sulawesi. Anthony has been involved in training for language documentation in the UK, Indonesia, and Japan.
