This paper presents a set of linguistic resources that formalizes the morphological behavior of simple Rromani adjectives. We describe the formalization of the adjectives’ morphology and the implementation with the NooJ linguistic platform of an electronic dictionary associated with a formal morpho-syntactic grammar. We can then apply this set of resources to a corpus to evaluate the resources and automatically annotate adjectival forms in Rromani texts. The final set of resources can then be used to identify each Rromani dialectal variant and can be used as a pedagogical tool to teach Rromani as a second language.
