Dalmatian
dalmatian
Noun
pl: dalmatians
When referring to the dog breed, the term is used as a common noun. While some older texts capitalize it, modern usage typically treats it as a lowercase common noun unless it begins a sentence.
When referring to a person from the Dalmatia region of Croatia, the word functions as a proper noun (demonym) and must always be capitalized. This distinction is crucial for maintaining correct register and orthography between the biological breed and the ethnic or regional identity.
