Biography

[edit]

Miyake was born in Aiea, Hawaii, in 1971, and attended Punahou School in Honolulu, graduating in 1989. He studied Japanese language and literature at University of California, Berkeley, and then studied linguistics at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, from where he obtained his doctorate in 1999, with a dissertation entitled The Phonology of Eighth-Century Japanese Revisited: Another Reconstruction Based upon Written Records.[1][2] He is best known for his work on the phonetic reconstruction of Old Japanese, but is also known for his work on the extinct Tangut language.

Between 2015 and 2019 Miyake was a research assistant at the British Museum, working on the decipherment of Pyu inscriptions.[3] At the same time he was also a research associate in the Department of Linguistics at the School of Oriental and African Studies.[4]
