Duke Branimir 880s, spoke old Slavic Chakavian from the Dalmatian hinterland. Mr Branimir is, I believe is the first Croatian ''or'' the first Southern Slav to express himself as such (based on the current records that we have). His tribe, the old Slavic Chakavian speakers, are the first Croatians (Hrvati or more accurately Hrovati). The early medieval Western Balkans must had have multiple Slavic ethnic tribes. It appears that their history has not been recorded. From a Greco-Roman perspective they were all identified as Slavs. The Slavs found themselves living in a medieval multi-ethnic region. It was the most powerful chieftains who were leaders and they left a '''mark''' on history. The '''old''' language groups could (now refereed to as dialects) still reflect the many Slavic tribes who invaded Roman Dalmatia. Note after a period of time in the middle ages we have new identities of Southern Slavs that being Croatians, Bulgarians, Serbs, Narantani and others.
