Do you know where GRICO dialect is spoken ?
Griko, sometimes spelled Grico, is the dialect of Italiot Greek spoken by Griko people in Salento (province of Lecce) . Some Greek linguists consider it to be a Modern Greek dialect and often call it Katoitaliótika (Greek: Κατωιταλιώτικα, “Southern Italian”) or Grekanika (Γραικάνικα), whereas its own speakers call it Griko (Γκρίκο, in Salento).
