Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

the lead does include an introductory sentence that clearly states the articles topic and details the sections to be mentioned in the article. The lead is not overly long.

content:

seems to be up to date it uses sources only a few years old, some others are older. Content matches the topic of the article.

although some sections are larger and other smaller, which could be they possibly lack of information.

organization and writing quality:

The article is well written grammatically and is structured well. However some areas are a little hard to read, younger students may have a hard time reading in some areas.

the article is well organized into clear sections

images and media:

The images are labeled and even have some links added below them. they are organized nicely although some could be made a little larger. They appear to follow all of wikipedia's

guidelines for images.

Talk page discussion:

there is a lot of discussion. One is about the vowel chart being confusing, another was about using the wrong person in the natural phonology section, and they had it corrected.

another in section 2 corrected a sentence that was not clear. It is part of the wiki project linquisitics, and is rated a level 4 vital article.

Overall impressions:

I think some sentences could be polished a bit because some are a little hard to read, and i think there could be some added information to some of the sections that are smaller than some of the others.

Other than that i think it is well written overall, and is quite neat and orderly. I think maybe the images could be a little larger.

I would say that overall it is somewhere between overdeveloped and underdeveloped. Some sections seem to have more put into them than others.
