A few thoughts, in no particular order: (1) I think this already came up, but the numbers of speakers in the opening paragraph and in the info box contradict each other. (2) Citing some sources in the sections on classification, geographic distribution, and phonology would be helpful. (3) There's what looks like a typo under morphology: "which are combine to form" (4) The morphology section as a whole is the best developed. I wonder, though, if you could give a bit more detail about some of the inflectional categories. In particular, what sorts of tense/aspect/mood are indicated on verbs?

Hey Doug, just a few minor comments.

If you know the age demographics of any of the speakers that would be good to add, and maybe also talk about its endangerment status, such as its ranking on the EGIDS scale.

You might want to explain what TAM is, that is spell it out once, before you start using the abbreviation (even though you have a link to it not everyone will bother to check it and it could make things a bit clearer to the uninitiated)

or just link to Tense-aspect-mood Gholton (talk) 21:08, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure the square brackets should be parenthesis here “All words must begin with a consonant, although, if the initial consonant is a glide followed by its matching vowel [i.e. a sequence of /ji/ or /wu/]”

you guys should feel free to just edit these small issues like typos and such. In this case use of square brackets didn't trigger an error, but normally square brackets are used for external links. Gholton (talk) 21:10, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few typos but I’m sure you’ll fix them later. Otherwise good job. Caitlyn3 (talk) 06:22, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Caitlyn3[reply]
