The Dalmatian is a language dead to the family of Romance languages (that is to say following the Latin ), formerly spoken in Illyria , now for the most coastal region of Croatia. Denotes the name of the novel illyro-branch of the Romance languages in which that language belongs.
Influences language
Before the Roman occupation of Illyria, a region has subsequently developed language Dalmatian, was inhabited by Thracians.
The Romans occupied the Illyrian territory between 229 BC. BC and 155 AD. For interest, traders and those in authority speaking Latin, eventually abandoning their native language for Latin ("Vulgar Latin" spoken by the people, not the great Latin writers of the Roman aristocracy ). Several Roman emperors were of Illyrian origin: Aurelian , Diocletian and Constantine I..
Even after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, the Illyria continued to speak Latin. The language evolved relatively independently of other Romance languages, progressing from a Vulgar Latin to regional variation, and finally a separate language. Other languages came to influence the Dalmatian, but not supplant the language in its Latin origin ( superstrate ): the slave and the Venetian ( Venetian dialect of Venice ). A number of cities in the region are also names Venetian.
Pope John IV the Dalmatian ( 640 - 642 ) probably spoke this language.
Dialects
The Dalmatian has seen two dialects:
- The Dubrovnik , spoken in the region of Dubrovnik (formerly Ragusa , who after having been a vassal of Byzantium , of Venice and Kingdom of Hungary , became independent in the fifteenth century). The Dubrovnik has ceased to be spoken to the XV century.
- The vgliote , spoken in the island of Krk (Italian hence its name). His last speaker called Antoine Udina (Kill Udaina in vgliote); the shepherd died on a mine on 10 June 1898 and the language has died with him. It is however better known because it has been studied by linguist Italian Mateo Bartoli from the last speaker of Dalmatian.
He may need them add the Albanian-novel. Poorly documented, it would have been extinguished in the Middle Ages.
