I am an emeritus professor of the chair of Romance Philology (Linguistics) of the Department of Romance Languages of Münster University (Northwest Germany). My main interests are historical and comparative linguistics of the Romance languages, especially French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Rumanian) and of the languages of the Tupi family in South America. My most important projects have been "Atlas Lingüístico Guaraní Románico" and the edition of older missionary documents from South-America.

The so-called Chiriguano group (now Western Guarani and its dialects, as well as Tapiete), historically and typologically belongs to the Southern Guarani cluster. Another subgroup is formed by the Sirionoid group (Siriono, Yuki, and Horá or Jorá). Guarayu and Warazu (traditonally Pauserna) form another subgroup, both being rather independent. The paper includes new phonological and morphosyntactic data of the recently first described Warazu.
