AI Calabria’s living library

Books of the dialects and local speech of all 404 municipalities.

Every municipality has a book. Some are already growing with validated words, phrases and pronunciations; others are still waiting for their first page.

Every territory, without exception

AI Calabria is building a book of local speech for every municipality

Active books show heritage that has already been validated. Empty books are a clear invitation not to leave any territory behind.

Frequently asked questions

Municipal books and recognition of Guardians

What are AI Calabria’s municipal books?

They are living collections of validated linguistic contributions for each municipality: words, phrases, expressions, memories and pronunciations linked to the territory.

Why are some books still empty?

AI Calabria creates a space for all 404 municipalities. Empty books identify territories still waiting for the community’s first validated voice.

How can I open the first page of my municipality’s book?

Add a contribution linked to the municipality and, whenever possible, include the pronunciation. After validation it will enter the territory’s book.

Does the Guardian also receive personal recognition?

AI Calabria provides a personal volume documenting the contributions, specialisations and validations attributed to the Guardian’s journey.
