A Morphological Processor Based on Foma for Biscayan (a Basque dialect)

We present a new morphological processor for Biscayan, a dialect of Basque, developed on the description of the morphology of standard Basque. The database for the standard morphology has been extended for dialects and an opensource tool for morphological description named foma is used for building the processor. XuxenB, a spelling checker/corrector for this dialect, is the first application of this work.
