I like your sections on typology and lexical categories. All seem well-cited. Would it be possible to add some examples of verb morphology? Do the sources contain any examples that could be used here? Mnransdellgreen (talk) 07:21, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that some actual examples would be helpful -- in the morphological typology section as well as other sections. No need to worry too much about formatting for now; just get the examples (and citation) in there.Gholton (talk) 21:03, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

I agree with the above that the typology and lexical categories subsections are well written. I might suggest, though that you clarify what the four (in)transitive (in)animate terms mean (i.e., which argument is (in)transitive?); if one of my previous professors hadn't been an Algonquianist who works mainly on Meskwaki, I'd be pretty clueless.

A couple of thoughts on some of the stuff you didn't write, in case it's helpful: (1) Underneath "grammar," the text refers to "obviates" where I think it should be "obviatives;" the term "redirection markers" is also not a particularly helpful description of how Algonquian verbs work. (2) The last sentence under "orthography" is spectacularly awkward. (3) Much of the "radio programming in Blackfoot" section was copied and pasted from the source listed therein. Obvious plagiarism is obvious. Grovercleveland17 (talk) 08:24, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Pitch accent
Wikipedia has two articles Pitch accent and Pitch accent (intonation). I think your link should be to the former rather than the latter, since the latter deals with a technical term in the ToBI system of intonation transcription. Kanjuzi (talk) 12:14, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
