Christopher Reynolds (linguist)
Dr Christopher Hanby Baillie Reynolds was the first western academic to study the Maldivian language.〔''Tribute to Christopher H. B. Reynolds'', School of Oriental and African Studies 5 May 2015 newsletter. https://www.soas.ac.uk/news/newsitem102226.html〕
He wrote the first ''English-Maldivian dictionary'':〔Routledge; Bilingual edition 17 April 2003, ISBN 978-04152980-87〕 this complied with the Maldive Government’s 1970’s then Roman-transliteration scheme. The material was available to world academics from the 1970s, and finally published in 432 pages with 5000 individual entries in 2003. The dictionary complemented his 1993 150-page ''Maldives (World Bibliographical Series number 158)'' book.〔Publisher: ABC-Clio Inc; First Edition (August 1993) ISBN 978-1851090761〕
During his career as a Sinhalese lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London he taught and extensively researched the Sinhalese language and its pre-1815 literature: the Sri Lankan government awarded him the Sri Lanka Ranajana medal for this.
==Education interrupted by war service==
Christopher Hanby Baillie Reynolds was born 29 July 1922 in St Albans, England; his father was the registrar of the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy. Christopher's school education was at Winchester College. His Honour Mods studies including Modern Languages at New College, Oxford were interrupted in 1942 by WWII war service in Italy, taking him after the war (but still in the army) to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) where he was fascinated by the Sinhalese language, script and culture. After the war, with a Forlong scholarship, he gained a BA degree in Sinhalese at SOAS.
