The language evaluation framework is a guidance document developed by the [Kubernetes Naming Working Group](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/wg-naming). The version of this documentation found on the Inclusive Naming website is a mirror.

It outlines a structured framework for evaluating language and terminology for harm to the community. This enables the community to navigate divisive conversations with a measure of clarity.

The framework was created for an open source technology project. The framework may be applicable to other fields as well.

First-order concerns are language where harm is egregious, overt, and clearly problematic. Second-order concerns are language which is problematic but with a less definite impact. Third-order concerns indicate language that could use improvement but does no demonstrable harm.

Answer all questions for each term evaluated.

First-order concerns are characterized by:
