In 1996 the Griko population founded a Union of the municipalities of Grecia Salentina.[2] The pupose of this union was to endorse the knowledge of Griko and preserve its culture, by organizing research at the university, teaching the language at schools, publishing books and poetry in the endangered dialect.[3]

Eleven towns make part of it: Calimera, Martano, Castrignano dei Greci, Corigliano d'Otranto, Melpignano, Soleto, Sternatia, Zollino, Martignano, Carpignano Salentino and Cutrofiano.[4] The towns of Carpignano Salentino and Cutrofiano joined the Union of the Towns of Grecìa Salentina (Unione dei Comuni della Grecìa Salentina) in 2007, though the inhabitants of these two towns have not spoken their original Greek dialect called griko in two centuries.
