My name is Savithry Namboodiripad (/saːvit̪riː n̪ampuːt̪iɾipːaːɖə/), and I'm a Collegiate Fellow in Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

I study how language contact contributes to language evolution, variation, and change -- check out my research page for a description of some of my past and current projects.

Starting in Fall of 2019, I'll be an Assistant Professor in the Linguistics Department here at Michigan, and I am currently setting up the Contact, Cognition, and Change Lab at UMich (site coming soon!).

If you are or have ever been a language researcher, please take this (~20 min) survey (in collaboration with Lynn Y-S Hou, Anne Charity Hudley, and Corrine Occhino)!
