Sentence-final particle

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I am familiar of the topic and I have taken a course in the subject. The article itself seems pretty short to me and it doesn't give much depth in the materials.

This article has a good lead section as it provides a basic definition of the concept and simple examples to help readers understand better. However, the lead doesn’t provide a summary of the major sections of the article. Also, there are concepts used in the definition that are not explain nor describe in the article, e.g. register or pragmatics. As for content, this article provides relevant materials to the topic; yet, only examples are listed. There is no theoretical explanation nor connections between the examples. More discussion on how particles behave could be added. I don’t see any notable equity gap in this topic. As for tone and balance, the article is displayed in a neutral manner and equally represents languages from different typological families. However, more citations can be added, as this article lacks significant resources and not all informations are support by citations. The current citations are up to date and their links work. Since this is a very short article, there is only one section with no image. Not much can be done in organisation.

In the talk page, there are very limited conversations. There are mainly 3-4 people discussing the article focusing on the technical use of terminologies. Other major sections for the article are proposed, i.e. Language-neutral account and Phrase suffixes. The article is rated Start-class and is part of the Linguistics WikiProjects at mid-importance.
