description: "Anders Johan Sjögren was a Finnish linguist, ethnographer, historian and explorer. He was the first to systematically apply scientific methodology and fieldwork to the study of Finno-Ugric languages, combining linguistic analysis with ethnographic observation and historical research. On his expeditions across Russia, the Baltic region, and the Caucasus, he documented languages, collected folklore, and studied the social and cultural life of various peoples. His interdisciplinary approach became a model for later research on Finno-Ugric languages and cultures. Sjögren is also regarded the creator of the Ossetian Cyrillic alphabet, which is still used today with some modifications."
