This effort involves hiring a language scientist who will collect interviews and audio recordings from locals in specific regions like Mittenwald and Mühldorf am Inn. Experts believe AI can systematically process and utilize this linguistic diversity for modern applications, ensuring dialects remain relevant in the digital age.
