Peer Review for Ling 102
The article is neutral and shows different aspects of this language. Each of the sources is from a reliable text. Most of the sections use the same authors within the section. The information of the language was written well. The main change I would suggest is that you look over some of your sentences, where your grammar gets a bit unclear. The most important improvement for this article is to clarify the language section, it was a little confusing to read. However, I did gain some insight as to how I can structure my own article, so it was a big help. Dekash1 (talk) 23:41, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the great feedback about my article. I will make the changes to improve my article with putting together a well structured language section with clear grammar where it is easier for the reader to read. I will also input myself, images to give the reader a more visual look of the two islands and the language. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be used to improve my article.

English.
The English grammar of this article needs fixing by a properly bilingual speaker. The following pair of consecutive sentences are just fragments. When using H instead of S and WH instead of H. What happens when using these? In Tahitian, in retaining K and NG and using WH and a more sounded H. In retaining these sounds, what results?

I strongly encourage the writer of this article to get assistance from a competent user of English in revising it. You have something useful to tell us, but it needs to be told in a way we can properly understand. Kia kaha! Koro Neil (talk) 09:59, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Unreliable source
The source for the number of speakers can't be relied upon, as it is from 1932. Please see https://endangeredlanguages.com/lang/5338 instead, which cites the far more recent 2016 edition of Ethnologue. 135.135.60.124 (talk) 01:36, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
