The Dalmatian people (Italian: Dalmata [dalˈmaːta]) (Dalmatian: Dalmata/Dalmati [ˈdalmatɑ], [ˈdalmati]) (Croatian: Dalmatinac [dalmǎtǐnat͡s]) are an extinct Latin romance ethnic group that were native to the Dalmatia region in Croatia

The Dalmatian people, also known as the Dalmati, were an ethnic group inhabiting the region of Dalmatia, situated along the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. With roots tracing back to the illyro-romans [1]and later influenced by Ottoman, Byzantine, and Slavic cultures, the Dalmatian people developed a distinct identity characterized by their language, customs, and traditions.
The decline and eventual extinction of the Dalmatian people can be attributed to a complex interplay of historical events, including invasions, migrations, and cultural assimilation. Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, Dalmatia experienced successive waves of conquests by various powers, including the Ostrogoths, Byzantines, Venetians, and Ottomans. These turbulent periods led to demographic shifts, displacement of populations, and the erosion of Dalmatian cultural distinctiveness.
One of the key factors contributing to the decline of the Dalmatian people was the gradual assimilation into surrounding ethnic groups, particularly the Croats and Italians, who exerted cultural and linguistic influence over the region. Over time, the Dalmatian language, once spoken by the Dalmati, became marginalized and eventually extinct, with the last known native speaker Tuone Udaina dying in the 19th century.
Today, remnants of Dalmatian culture and heritage can be found in archaeological sites, historical records, and cultural traditions preserved by descendants of the region's diverse ethnic groups.
Antiquity
Classical antiquity
The Dalmatian people, recognised as a Latin ethnic group, can be traced back to the height of the Roman Empire. Following the Roman conquest in 168BC [2]the establishment of the Diocese of illyria in 27BC, Later Dalmatia in 19BC[3]
After the Roman conquest, Dalmatia became an integral part of the empire, experiencing significant cultural, linguistic, and administrative influence. [4]The mingling between the indigenous Illyrian customs with Roman practices gave rise to an Illyro-Roman culture, which gradually evolved into the unique identity of the Dalmatian people and other local Latin identities.[5][6]
The establishment of urban centers such as Salona (modern-day Solin) and Diocletian's Palace in Split served as hubs of cultural exchange and economic activity, shaping the cultural landscape of Dalmatia. Latin became the dominant language, facilitating communication and trade among the population of the region.[7]
As the Roman Empire declined, Dalmatia faced various challenges, including invasions and migrations. Despite these upheavals, the Dalmatian culture remained, maintaining their cultural heritage amidst changing political landscapes.[8]
