I was surprised when I didn't find a thread about this polyglot in the 'polyglot' section of the forum!
We should know him as the decipherer of the Egyptian hieroglyphes as well as the translation of parts of the famous Rosetta Stone. I am not going to be pretentious and say I know alot about this man, because I don't; I just want to spark some interest in this and hope you will add some information about this man. Because, from what I do know, he truly qualifies as a polyglot, having mastered several languages at the age 16, I believe. I conclude by saying that I hope there is someone who can provide additional information about this interesting character in linguistic history. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
