Welcome and a Warm "Hello" to my Page!

I'm Briantin Loís, Briantin de Montrei or more simply Briantin (pseudonyms), born and currently living in California. I've lived in four American states (California , Texas , Hawaii , and Washington ) and another country, China , at different moments in my life.

Since discovering foreign music as a teenager, I've developed a great interest and curiosity for the other languages, songs and cultures of the world. Eventually, this led me to the Occitan language and its history. I came across the Occitanophone version of Wikipedia not too long later, and finally became a contributor there in 2019. There I help to translate articles and information from the English and French-language pages, though I sometimes pitch in on those Wikipedias or the Commons, particularly on topics relating to Occitania or the western United States.
