+
+You can add your own query files by placing a query file in vim's runtime path
+after `nvim-treesitter` is sourced.  If the language has a built in query file,
+that file will be appended to or it will be used (useful for languages not yet
+supported).
+
+For example, you can add files to `<vim-config-dir>/after/queries/lua/highlights.scm`
+to add more queries to lua highlights.  You can also manually add query paths
+to the runtime path by adding this to your vim config `set rtp+='path/to/queries'`.
