  1. Talk Dialect is a national initiative to capture, preserve, and revitalise the 39 historic county dialects of England as a living digital and onchain record. Built on existing community-driven collections, it will create an open, collaborative online wiki — anchored at talkdialect.co.uk — where users contribute words, phrases, pronunciations, and family sayings in real time.
