Which article are you evaluating?
Muscogee language

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article because it relates to my course; the Muscogee language is severely endangered. The area in which the language is spoken is also close to home, which interested me even more. Upon reading the article, I feel as if it encompasses the many facets of the language: the phonology, orthography, and grammar. However, it would be better if the article could talk about its morphology and semantics of the language.

Evaluate the article
The introduction looks good-- the article talks about the people who speak the language, related languages, and the state of the language today. In the section titled "Current Status," I see that the article focuses on the fact that free language classes are provided. Given that the language is currently severely endangered, I feel as if the article should have focused more on the number of speakers left today and the other efforts to revive it. They could have also talked a little more about how the language came to reach its status as severely endangered. The tone is neutral and informative in this section. The phonology and grammar sections cover a lot of the distinctive features of the language, and I think this is pretty encompassing; however, the grammar section should have delved more into the morphology of the language. The "Male vs. Female Speech" and "Seminole Dialects" sections look a little sparse, and more should be added to it. Overall, the links in the bibliography work, except the one that links to the US Census (that needs to be updated) and "Archived copy." The sources are reliable, as most of them are from academic articles or from the Muscogee community themselves. The talk page updates the external links and asks to clarify a few things written in the article. Some people on the talk page believe the article to be incomplete.
