Dalmatian (or Dalmatic) is an extinct Romance leid umwhile spoken in the Dalmatie region o Croatie, an as far sooth as Kotor in Montenegro. The name refers tae a pre-Roman tribe o the Illyrian linguistic group, Dalmatae. The Ragusan dialect o Dalmatian wis the offeecial leid o the Republic o Ragusa – although the majority o its inhabitants spoke Croatian or Italian.
Dalmatian speakers lived in the coastal touns: Zadar, Trogir, Split, Dubrovnik, an Kotor (Jadera, Tragur, Spalatro, Raugia an Cattaro), each o these ceeties haein a local dialect, an on the islands o Krk, Cres an Rab (Vikla, Crepsa an Arba).
Some enthusiasts today are attemptin tae revive the Dalmatian leid, uisin the Vegliot dialect.[1]
