Proper adjectives are adjectives that are formed from proper nouns. Most of them identify people, places, languages, or groups. Notice that these adjectives are still performing the job of an adjective: They are all describing nouns. Also, notice that they all begin with a capital letter. Over time, proper adjectives can lose their capitalization if the adjective itself begins to overshadow the thing or person it originally referred to. For instance, we don't capitalize the V in venetian blinds.
