Haila! Eila! My name is Kiyomi, though I am better known as Saiwalo Ausigaists, or as Teudogrima. I'm the director of the branch of the Gothic Revival Movement known as "Wistrawigs", as well as the co-founder of the "Geiseric Society", a society dedicated to the promotion of Vandalic studies and the reconstruction of the Vandalic language.
I live in the US in the Chicago area, but am originally from Guatemala, in Central America. I am a proud member of the Guatemalan German, Nikkei (Sansei), and the K'iche' Maya minorities of Guatemala and wear those badges on my sleeve with pride. I am a student of Germanic and Romance languages, with a foundational education in English and French languages. My passion, however, is East Germanic. I have been studying the Gothic language since I was 14 years old, and became involved in the Gothic Revival as a key member in 2019, and founded the Geiseric Society along with a fellow Vandalic enthusiast in the same year. Since then, I have been working tirelessly to promote these wonderful languages and give them a new life in the 21st century.
Aside from languages, I have an interest in Religions as well. Sufism, Gnosticism and Arian Christianity are big favorites of mine. I also am a practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism and Shinto, and have begun to take a strong interest in expanding articles realted to these subjects.
