Welcome!

Hello, Scarolinebailey, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Comments on Integration with Existing Kawaiisu Wikipedia Page

In general, underlined material in my sandbox is content from the existing Wikipedia page for Kawaiisu. Some of this content needs to be cited, and I have indicated that with a "citation needed template."

The existing Wikipedia page had four sections before Morphology: "Classification," "Linguistic Environment," "Geographic distribution," and "Revitalization." I have generally rearranged the content from these four sections in a way I found logical, putting some information into the my lead, and moving some information that was originally into my lead into these sections. I have eliminated the "Classification" and "Geographic distribution" headers, but all the content that was in these was relocated to my lead, so no information was lost.

I also borrowed the structure of the vowel and consonant tables from the existing Wikipedia page (for obvious reasons this could not be indicated with underlining). While the organization and headers are all the same, I did change some of the symbols in these tables to reflect the ones used in my grammar/glosses. The IPA symbols from the existing Wikipedia page, in the cases where this happened, appear next to the grammar's symbols in square brackets. I have chosen to mark both tables with "citation needed" because I don't know where the existing Wikipedia page derived it organization and headers from, but I would like to note that the phonemes recorded in these charts DO have a 1-to-1 correspondence with those found on page 5 of my grammar.
