## Summary

> A Universal Dependencies corpus for a romanized user-generated content variety of Algerian, a North-African Arabic dialect known for its frequent usage of code-switching. We added to the UD annotations NER annotations extending the French Treebank NER scheme (Sagot et al, 2012) and Offensive language classification and corrected many of the translations (still ongoing).
