Knut Jungbohn Clement (born 4 December 1803 in the island of Amrum, Denmark – 7 October 1873 in Bergen, New Jersey) was a Danish linguist.
He was educated at Kiel and Heidelberg, and became PhD in 1835. At the expense of the Danish government he made a three years' tour through Great Britain and continental Europe, and on his return to Denmark became a professor in the University of Kiel, and delivered before large and enthusiastic classes lectures on history, politics, economy, and criticism. He had taken an active part in the question of the Schleswig-Holstein duchies, and in 1866, when they were given up in consequence of the Austro-Prussian War, he emigrated to the United States.[1]
