This study aimed to create a voice language map of
disappearing dialects in Tokushima PrefectureYoshino River
basin. In addition, a digital archive for the purpose of storage and
recording of the dialect speech through a linguistic geography
survey was actualized. The "Speaking Linguistic Atlas" added
to a multimedia database using the dialect speech was published
on the Internet. Dialect audio obtained in this study was placed
in the monitoring sites on a map. The user clicks the desired
location on the map where a window will open with a feature that
allows the user to listen to the recording. We fulfilled the
purpose of actualizing a digital archive of a disappearing dialect,
which is a widely well-known cultural asset. This archive
preserves the dialect permanently.
