Dialect tagging
The plurals can be tagged by which dialect uses them with  (and so on with higher numbers), where the number corresponds to the number of the corresponding plural. The same can be done for nominal and pronominal states using  and   (and so on with higher numbers), again with the number corresponding to the appropriate form. The dialects should be given with their sigla, as documented here.
