'''Henrik Liljegren''' (<ref></ref>) is a [[linguist]] and Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at [[Stockholm University]].<ref></ref> He does fieldwork on languages of [[northern Pakistan]], particularly the Hindukush-Karakoram region, and studies [[typology]] of and genetic relations between languages of the region. His most recent project is investigating ''Language contact and relatedness in the Hindukush region'', funded by the [[Vetenskapsrådet]].<ref></ref>

Dr. Liljegren earned his Ph.D. for his thesis ''Towards a grammatical description of Palula: An Indo-Aryan language of the Hindu Kush'' in 2008, advised by [[Östen Dahl]] at the University of Stockholm. He has published a grammar of [[Palula]] (based on his dissertation), and worked on many Hindukush languages, including [[Khowar]], [[Kalasha]], [[Shina]], [[Kalkoti]], among others. [[Anton I. Kogan]], a linguist of [[Kashmiri]] and [[Dardic languages]], remarked on his work on Palula: "Thanks to the author’s painstaking work, Palula can now be considered one of the best studied Dardic languages. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is hardly any significant aspect of Palula phonology, morphology or syntax left unnoticed in the grammar under review."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
