Abstract

A discussion of issues related to the cataloging of a language, Romani (or Romany), which is only in the 21st century beginning to achieve some degree of standardization. The discussion focuses on issues of Romani orthography, specifically a small number of unusual Unicode characters that may cause technical problems in certain automated cataloging environments, such as OCLC WorldCat, the OCLC cataloging client Connexion, and online library catalogs.
