Which article are you evaluating?
Salvadoran Lenca (Chilanga)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have picked this article because I am interested in this language from a small language family- Lenca. I am interested in languages in Central and South America that are almost extinct.

Evaluate the article
The wiki article does not contain enough information about this language and needs to be improved. The quality of the content of the article is incomplete. It has gaps and the absence of population of speakers and information about its culture and people. The article does mention Potón, an extinct language that was part of the Lenca family with only one native speaker left in the world. But there is no existing wikipedia page for this language or culture/people.

The tone of the article is very limited but neutral. There are no different viewpoints. The article does have phonetic evidence that includes consonants and vowel tables. It looks unfinished. The article does not include images to enhance the understanding of the topic nor does it persuade the reader in any favor.

The sources of this article are reliable and are educated sources. Many are from University researchers in El Salvador while one is from the International Journal of American Linguistics. Many of the sources are in Spanish and come from Universities in Central America. Only one source was a link, which was the Endangered Languages Project data for Salvadorian Lenca. It has a database for researchers/linguists for Lenca. It is also connected with facebook so people can comment and see any progress with this language. But unfortunately, there is still not a lot of information and many people have commented their concerns on this source. One person said "How come nothing has been put on about this? Im really in search of my roots." which shows how little we know about this language and culture.
