Who is Larry Hyman?

I created this stub a while back to explain the references to Larry Hyman in Bamileke languages. I agree it doesn't say much, but on the other hand, experts on African linguistics aren't exactly two-a-penny. My feeling is that as an acknowledged expert in a field which WP covers, he deserves a place in WP. It wouldn't break my heart to lose the article though, as long as Bamileke languages was suitably adjusted..

Just to complicate things, however, I've discovered that the Bamileke languages article may be a copyvio and marked it as such. Colonies Chris 23:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
