Incomplete citations

This article contains short form citations to two sources, specifically Aikhenvald (1999) and Kaufman (1994), but does not provide enough bibliographic information to identify them. "Kaufman (1994)" might be Kaufman, Terrence. 1994. "The Americas". In Christopher Moseley & R. E. Asher (eds.), Atlas of the World’s Languages, 1–76. Cambridge University Press. "Aikhenvald (1999)" might be Aikhenvald, Alexandra Y. (1999) "The Arawak language family". In R. M. W. Dixon & A. Y. Aikhenvald (eds.), The Amazonian languages. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. --Bejnar (talk) 22:26, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

The 2nd is correct. Don't remember the 1st. Can be verified by classification at Upper Amazon Arawakan, which should also be properly ref'd. — kwami (talk) 00:10, 12 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Cambell, in Campbell, Lyle. (2012) "Classification of the indigenous languages of South America." The indigenous languages of South America: A comprehensive guide Berlin : De Gruyter Mouton, pp. 59–166. says it is certain that Achagua is a dialect [sister] of Maipure citing Felipe Salvador Gilij (1965) Ensayo de Historia Americana, Volume 1.
Greenberg, Joseph H. (1987) Languages in the Americas Stanford University Press ISBN:978-0-8047-1315-3, groups Maipure with the Tupian languages. --Bejnar (talk) 22:26, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Cambell supports Aikhenvald. It would be nice to update the Achawa article - maybe I'll get to it if you don't. But Greenberg is not a RS (and I would assume he was talking about Maipurean, not just Maipure). — kwami (talk) 00:46, 12 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Actually, Campbell quotes Gilij, without evaluating the claim, and the fact that Gilij doesn't know what a letter or a dialect are doesn't inspire confidence.
