− | Vallegrande Speak (Old Vela Luka Dialect) is an off shoot of the language spoken in '''17th-18th century''' town of Blato. Etymology of Vallegrande would translate as large bay. From Latin ''grandis'' means large, big whilst ' valle ' in local dialect means bays. Valle (plural) is most probably of Romance (Latin) Dalmatian origin which was spoken by '''Latin Dalmatians'''. The modern name, Vela Luka is a Croatian translation of Vallegrande, Vela meaning ''large'' and Luka meaning ''bay'' ''or'' even port. | + | Vallegrande Speak (Old Vela Luka Dialect) is an off shoot of the language spoken in '''17th-18th century''' town of Blato.

| Very important to note there is a strong element of Italian Venetian within Vallegrande Speak. By the time of 15th and 16th century the majority of the population of the island of Korčula (more in the west end) spoke Old Croatian with a mix of the Romance Dalmatian language and with heavy influences of Venetian (Lingua Franca of that era). During the rule of the Republic of Venice (from 1420 to 1797) saw the slow disappearance of Romance (Latin) Dalmatian. | | Very important to note there is a strong element of Italian Venetian within Vallegrande Speak.
