User:Kp6244/Evaluate an Article

Motivation: I chose to evaluate the article on Livonian language because of how this language went extinct but many people are still trying to revive it. I found it surprising that a language could cease to exist as soon as the last native speaker dies but then be brought back by others who know parts of the language and want it to continue living. This article is also related to the Languages in Peril class I am taking.

Evaluating Content: The information discussed was very relevant to the topic of the article. The content was set up in a coherent way with a short summary in the beginning, chronological context about the language in the middle, and ending with information on phonological components of the language. I did not find any gaps in the treatment of any information.

Evaluating Tone: The tone is neutral. The article simply states information about the language in general, how it went extinct, who spoke it and when, and how it is resurfacing. Different points of view are given including those of different news papers, locals, and organizations.

Evaluating Sources: Sources are easily accessible and relevant to the information being given. This article includes a wide range of books, news paper articles, and reports as credible sources.
