Abstract

The article presents a prototype intelligent language modelling system to preserve Rhodope dialects. Implemented in Prolog, it converts dialectal into standard Bulgarian lexical units and vice versa, generating the corresponding grammatical form. It includes a module for phonetic features and demonstrates the application of symbolic AI in digital cultural heritage.
