Database of Romani Dialects
The Database of Romani Dialects (DRD) is an online resource based on the Romani Morphosyntax Database (RMS), conceptualized by Viktor Elšík and Yaron Matras and launched in 1998 at the University of Manchester. It comprises data on approximately 200 Romani varieties collected between 2001 and 2006.
Currently hosted by Cologne University as a pure data repository in XML format, the DRD lacks the full search and user interface capacity.
As part of the project Documenting Zargari the data and structure of the DRD will be expanded to create a new digital resource for Zargari. This new resource will enable comparisons with other Romani varieties.
