Abstract

The first part of this paper tries to contribute to the illustration of the formal language literacy presented by sample of text written by young Roma people. Those people attend special schools and their education program is limited comparing to the ordinary schools.

The paper introduces new term – the stigmatize error/mistake. The second part of the presented paper illustrates main reasons of those mistakes (sociocultural, language, educational) and tries to suggest some solutions for school training.

It can be orthography practicing, focus on phonetics, relations between speaking and writing, communication practices, vocabulary practicing, etc. The paper shows examples taken from databank ROMi, which was constructed as a sample of Czech language spoken/written by young Roma people.
