Linguistic map of Italy

The Gallo-Italic of Basilicata (Italian : Gallo-italico di Basilicata) is a group of Gallo-Italic dialects found in Basilicata in southern Italy, ^[1] that could date back to migrations from Northern Italy during the time of the Normans.

These dialects are found in two areas: one near the regional capital of Potenza (in Tito, Picerno, Pignola and Vaglio Basilicata), but not in Castelmezzano, and another on the Tyrrhenian coast (Trecchina, Rivello, Nemoli and San Costantino). ^[2]

Similar communities have survived in Sicily, speaking Gallo-Italic dialects of Sicily.
