August Friedrich Pott was born at Bad Munder, Germany on the 14th of November 1802.
He studied in Gottingen.
In 1825 Pott became schoolmaster at Celle, Hanover; but after two years removed to Berlin, where he became privatdozent at the university. He studied comparative philology, and in 1883 was made professor at Halle, where he lived till his death on the 5th of July 1887.
Pott also devoted much attention to the origins of the gipsies.
His Etymologische Forschungen (1834 - 1836) entitled him to rank as Bopp's foremost disciple in the Indo-Germanic science of language.
