About

The story behind Tongues.

Creator

Tongues was created by Zeke Sikelianos, a designer and developer with a long-standing interest in language and localization.

Zeke worked as a neolexicographer at Wordnik, where he helped build tools for exploring the English language. He later led internationalization efforts at Electron and GitHub, making documentation accessible to developers around the world in multiple languages.

Zeke co-maintains @words, a public GitHub organization with open-source projects for working with words.
