'''Dalmatian Italians''' are an [[Italy|Italian]] national minority in the region of Dalmatia (today part of [[Croatia]]). In the 1860s, during the [[Austria|Austrian]] rule of the Dalmatia Provence (Kingdom of Dalmatia), the ethnic group started to suffer from a trend of decreasing numbers and only around 1,000 of the group remain.
