Franz Nikolaus Finck (26 June 1867 – 4 May 1910)University of Berlin.
Finck visited the
phonology of Irish resulted in the book Die araner mundart: ein beitrag zur erforschung des westirischen (The Aran Dialect: A Contribution to the Exploration of Western Irish).[2] This work was characteristic of Finck's emphasis on the study of remote dialects of languages.[3]
He went on to work on a broad variety of languages, but was best known to his colleagues for his work on
languages of the Caucasus. He also worked extensively on the Armenian language, compiling a grammar of that language.[4]
Finck held the belief[1] (now known to be mistaken) that all of the languages of the Caucasus were related.
Among his students was John Peabody Harrington.
