The Calabrian dialect of Greek is the variety of Italiot Greek used by the ethnic Griko people in Calabria, as opposed to the Italiot Greek dialect spoken in the Grecìa Salentina. Both are remnants of the Ancient and Byzantine Greek colonization of the region. Calabrian Greek and Griko are mentioned in the Red Book of UNESCO on endangered languages. Calabrian Greek can trace its roots to the ancient colonies of Magna Graecia, and possibly earlier. Calabrian Greek was spoken throughout the whole of south Calabria until the 15th to 16th century when it was gradually replaced by a Romance dialect (Calabrian). Still, there are influences of Calabrian Greek on the grammar and in a large part of the latter's vocabulary.
