Peer View of Article
I really enjoyed a lot of the information you put in your article. If I were to give any suggestions to improve the overall quality of the article, I'd suggest to cut down some of the history of your language and focus more on the information that deals with the vocabulary, grammar, and phonology of your language. Also, I noticed some of your sentences can be more neutral to the audience. Rephrasing some sentences can help fix this problem. Lastly, some more information in your lead might capture more attention for your article. I believe a sweep of your article while keeping these suggestions in mind has the potential in improving your article. Overall, I really thought your article and language was very interesting. Good luck! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djh224 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Peer review
Hello-- I think this article has a good, substantive amount of information. That being said, I think this information gets put on the back burner with the amount of cultural and historical information that is provided within the article. While this information is definitely interesting, it did not really contribute to our understanding of the language-- if the people's lifestyle greatly affected the language, then I could understand having information about the way the people hunt, etc, but this doesn't seem to be the case. So, I would definitely try to trim the article of things like the culture section, religion, hunting & diet, and even the kinship section. Definitely move relevant information, like the phonology section, more towards the top, and make your lead a bit more catching. Other than that, and a few grammatical tweaks, your article looks great! Your sources look great. Katherinemoretti (talk) 15:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Contradictory
The article's content seems to contradict itself. Considering:

"No dialects or varieties are known to have stemmed or derived from the Jarawa language."

and

"There are two varieties of Jarawa languages." WhoAlone (talk) 04:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
