Austrian philologist, 1813-1891, author of important works on the Slavic languages as wel as on Romanian, Albanian, Greek and the gypsy language

Fishburn and Hughes: "An Austrian philosopher whose work focused on the nature of language and who in 1849 occupied the newly created chair of philology at the University of Vienna. Though 'the page much too famous' is apocryphal, Miklosich's linguistic studies included the origins of non-European languages such as Romany, the language of the gypsies." (130)
