It might be beneficial to begin editing by giving a bit more clear of a definition of "heritage language." The article also needs many more sources in order to improve on and add content. As of now, the sources are coming from sources that are primarily focused on Slavic languages, so we can definitely pull from different places. Some other sections that could be added include sections about the similarities and dissimilarities between native language and heritage language, the development of heritage language or how someone learns a heritage language, motivations for heritage language learning, and/or how experiences may differ for different learners. Below are some sources that may be helpful in learning more about heritage language learning for drafting an article:
