message: The first paragraph to this page features a census that tells the number of speakers, but this number is out of date i suggest replacing it with a more recent census such as the census for 2011 which showed that there were 6,634 speakers of the Hopi language in the United States  .
Also, in the Phonology section, specifically in the section concerning consonants in this language, there are a lot of words that a layperson would not understand. Some of these words have it where they are linked to another wiki article and the definition is obtained that way, but some do not. I would suggest either stating the definition or linking the word to a page that explains them so that everyone is able to understand the article and learn more about the language.

thread_title:  unexplained diction and out of date data 

message: The introductory paragraph mentions a gradual decline in the use of Hopi, but does not elaborate on it. The trend towards English monolingualism, especially among the younger generation, has been documented by various studies. The Hopi Language Assessment Project (1997) found that English was the primary language in at least half of the 347 Hopi households surveyed, a trend influenced by the Western education system and the US government's policy of assimilation.  Introducing this issue would be a good transition to the section on 'Teaching and language revitalization efforts'. - Valeriesaw (talk) 19:12, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  New section on Language loss? 

message: I've noticed the vowel chart states there is a [a] phoneme, whereas in the Writing System section I find that a is pronounced [ɔ]. That sounds like a contradiction to me. Which pronunciation is right? Also, is it [i] or is it [ɪ]?

text: Do they necessarily even mean back?  I'm going to take /a/ as the most agnostic.  — kwami (talk) 01:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
