According to the Croatian Anthropological Society in their Collegium Antropologicum  (Volumes 15-16) the language base of the Korcula dialect is Chakavian Croatian (it is also intermixed with Shokavian).<ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?ei=WmNGTPzMH4GyvgPGq_i4Ag&ct=result&id=KZMjAQAAIAAJ&dq=Dalmatian+language+korcula&q=korcula#search_anchor Croatian Anthropological Society:] Collegium Antropologicum  (Volumes 15-16). Pages 312 & 318</ref> Additionally, the local dialect has elements of an extinct Romance language, Dalmatian. It also has influences of Venetian. The local dialect is sometimes referred to as ''Naski'' or more correctly ''Naški''. The '''š''' is pronounced '''sh'''. Sir John Gardner Wilkinson, a 19 century English historian, referred to the Southern Dalmatian dialect as Illirskee.<ref>Note: Illyricum was a Roman province named after one of the Indigenous groups in the region</ref> The Korcula dialect is found in the local folk music. The local Klape groups (an a cappella form of music) sing using the Korcula dialect.<ref>Note: The traditional Klapa was composed of up to a dozen male singers (in recent times there are female Klape groups). Klapa singing dates back centuries. The arrival of the Croatians to Dalmatia and their subsequent settlement in the area, began the process of the cultural mixing of Slavic traditions with that of the Latin population of Dalmatia. This process was most evident in the coastal and island regions of Dalmatia.
  −
In the 19th century a standard form of Klapa singing emerged. Church music heavily influences the arrangements of this music giving it the musical form that exists today.</ref> The well know Croatian singer, Oliver Dragojevic, has used the dialect in his music.

==Republic of Ragusa==
 
''Republic of Ragusa'' was set up by Latin/Illyrian families. The Republic's city, Ragusa (today called Dubrovnik)  was established in the 7th century, post Slavic and Avar invasions. The refugees from  Epidaurum (a Roman city) built the settlement in Dalmatia, today in southernmost modern Croatia. Over the centuries the City State-Ragusa started to have relations with the Slavic hinterland, then called Red Croatia (this term for the region ceased to be used from the 11th century onwards). Ragusa itself became an independent state in 1358.

Editor's notes: It's quite possible that the Republic was for centuries a multicultural and ''multiethnic'' society! It's ruling class were of mostly of Latin decent, but not all!
