Sir William Jones (28 September 1746 – 27 April 1794) was an Anglo-Welsh philologist, puisne judge on the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William in Bengal, and scholar of ancient India, particularly known for his proposition of the existence of a relationship among Indo-European languages. He, along with Henry Thomas Colebrooke and Nathaniel Halhed, founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and started a journal called Asiatick Researches.
