Marcel Courthiade (French pronunciation: [kuʁtjad]; 2 August 1953 – 4 March 2021) was a French Romani linguist and researcher.
Biography
Courthiade had originally studied medicine at the University of Clermont-Ferrand, but then shifted his focus on Slavic languages—particularly Serbo-Croatian and Polish. He then studied at the INALCO in Paris, where he earned a diploma in Polish, Macedonian, and Albanian. He titled his doctoral thesis Phonologie des variétés dialectales de Rromani et diasystèmes graphiques de la langue Romani, a degree he earned from the École pratique des hautes études.
During his studies, Courthiade worked for several NGOs regarding education for Romani people in Albania. Subsequently, he worked as a political analyst and interpreter at the French Embassy in Albania for four years. In 1997, he became a lecturer at INALCO. In 2008, he was a key participant of Louis Mochet's film Rromani Soul. In 2019, he became a member of the scientific council Délégué interministériel à la lutte contre le racisme, l'antisémitisme et la haine anti-LGBT.
Marcel Courthiade died in Tirana on 4 March 2021 at the age of 67 from unknown causes.
