There are '''no''' contemporary written records of Chakavian-Slavic speakers (Croatian tribes) invasion/migration/settlement or about the events as a whole in area itself. It is quite possible that the area had a drop in population and the military presents of the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) and the Carolingian Empire was minimal or even non existent. This would have lead to a easy invasion/migration/settlement of the area concern (opportunity beckons).  The  Roman Latin-Illyrian population as well as Liburnians, Greeks and others would have to have endured the arrival of these Sclaveni (Slavs).

It is quiet possible the success of the Chakavian-Slavic tribes set the precedent for the Kajkavian-Slavic speakers and Shtokavian-Slavic speakers to follow suit. There is a probability that the eastern Chakavian-Slavic tribes and Shtokavian-Slavic speakers started to mix with the Shtokavian-Slavic language becoming the Lingua Franca of this part of old the Old Roman Dalmatia area.
