Scrivere e trascrivere in dialetto calabrese - Proposta ortografica di una varietà linguistica

This contribution offers a methodological reflection on the writing and transcription of the Calabrian dialect, to promote the preservation and valorization of regional linguistic heritage. Through the analysis of specific phonetic and orthographic phenomena, it highlights the need for a phonologically based graphic codification capable of capturing the complexity of local varieties. Examples of spontaneous writing, normalization proposals, and strategies for representing sounds not found in standard Italian are examined. The work serves as a practical tool for authors, linguists, and speakers, providing guidelines for a coherent transcription system that supports the intergenerational transmission of the dialect.
