Refugees from Roman Epidaurus in the 7th century turned it into a fortified city. Over the centuries, it became a City State (called Ragusa), later it became a Republic (1358). The early medieval City State had a population of Romans and Latinized Illyrians, who spoke Latin. With time, it evolved into the Dalmatian language a now extinct Romance language. The Ragusan Dalmatian language disappeared in the 17th century.
The research I have done in the last two years has come to this conclusion concerning the history of Dubrovnik, for now. The ancient peoples of Dubrovnik identified themselves as '''Ragusans'''. Latin-Illyrian families created the Republic of Ragusa. Modern theories say that a small town was already there during the times of the Roman Empire (some say even earlier).

For centuries Ragusa, was an Italian-City State.

It became a hub of multi-ethnic communities. The most numerous of these were the Slavs. The peoples of the Republic started to merge (including mixed marriages). Additionally the Ragusan-Slavic population were Romanised, meaning they adopted Latin Mediterranean culture. A form of [[Italian]] was spoken in the Republic, which was heavily influenced by Venetian. Books were written in Italian and Latin. Some Ragusans started to write in a Slavic language. Two languages (which at times overlapped) became the norm in the Republic.

During the Napoleonic Wars the Republic of Ragusa ceased to be. In 1815 it was made a part of the Habsburg Empire (later renamed the Austro-Hungarian Empire). The former Republic was within the province of the Kingdom of Dalmatia and under Austrian rule. In essence it was occupied. Former Republic of Ragusa borders were opened up. Peoples who were once foreigners (even enemies), were now citizens of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The political situation stated to change and one of them was the nationalistic movement of the 19th century. In the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia a Croatian nationalistic movement was established and along side that within the Balkan region a Pan-Slavic movement was growing. These political on goings started to be felt in the Kingdom of Dalmatia.

A process of [[Croatisation]] of the Republic of Ragusa's history began in the late 19th century and this process is still continuing today. Firstly as it relates to the Ragusan-Slavic history and now Ragusan-Italianic history.
