Comments from LING 1100-108 Project

Ryan-great background information on the language, including the origin and development.
Possible suggestions for additional editing: Could add more on the structure of the writing system and how it works, possibly provide examples. Also, more in text citations may be needed. Mmg86 (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Two main points:

  • There is a good amount of information, but the article lacks cohesiveness and structure. Consider breaking the article up into discrete sections. Above the table of contents should be a brief summary, then individual sections should be placed below, such as Orgins, and Usage.
  • More information is needed about the actual structure and mechanics of the language. What and how many consonants are there? Which vowels can be used? What is the inherent vowel of each syllable (If there is one)? How are independent vowels written, or consonant cluster? etc... Consider adding a table describing the sounds that each character makes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari#Letters
