Heritage Tech

AI-powered preservation of endangered dialects through immersive language archives, interactive learning platforms, and generational knowledge transfer.

← Back to Projects

Objective

Safeguard over 12 endangered Mediterranean dialects through AI-driven preservation and community engagement.

Technology

NLP models for phonetic transcription, speech synthesis, and real-time dialect translation systems.

Impact

Over 25,000+ hours of linguistic archives digitized with AI-generated interactive learning modules.

Key Components

A collaborative effort between linguists, AI engineers, and native dialect speakers in Sardinia, Crete, and the Dalmatian Coast.

AI Language Archives

Deep learning models cataloging phonetic patterns, regional syntax, and archaic vocabulary in interactive 3D sound maps.

Immersive Education

VR/AR language learning tools that reconstruct historical markets, village life, and storytelling traditions in native dialects.

Community Collaboration

Local elders co-develop content alongside AI systems, creating hybrid repositories of oral history and linguistic authenticity.

Project Milestones

2020–2022

Initial field research across 15 Mediterranean communities to document dialects with digital audio archives.

2023

Launch of beta AI models for dialect pattern recognition and automated phonetic transcription.

2024

Community workshops in Sardinia to co-create dialect preservation tools with native speakers and elders.
