Wallis and Futuna Scouting

[edit]

Can someone render "Be Prepared", the Scout Motto, into ʻUvean and Futunan? Thanks! Chris 07:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review for LING 102

1. Futunan is closely related to western Polynesian languages how or why? Proof? 2. Review how " and ' are used. 3. How did the language stay protected from 19th century influence? Why affected after WW2?

Peer Review for LING 102

[edit]

A good thing about this article is that it is developing really well with educative data. However, in some sentences, it contains too much information that it makes it kind of difficult to follow. An example is a sentence stated in the “History” section: “The immigration of a large number of Wallisians and Futunians to New Caledonia and the change of protectorate status in 1961 when Wallis and Futuna became an overseas territory of France had large effect on the vitality of Futunan.” Maybe split it into more sentences or adjust the wording.

Another suggestion, is to switch out the word “Futunan” once in awhile in the first section. You can avoid this repetition by using a pronoun in its place. An example is to alternately use “It is” instead of “Futunan is”. Another example is to use “The language is.” It makes the article flow better and I think there is a “writing” rule that says to not overuse a keyword.

Last thing would be to explain what some words mean; specifically referring to the “Pronouns” section. Linguist would understand this paragraph, but those who do not know what a pre-posed noun/ post-posed noun will become confused and have trouble comprehending. Lastly you should also inform the readers what some initialisms (VAO,VOA) mean. Other than that, great job on finding out more history and knowledge for this language :) Jameleeanneb (talk) 07:15, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
