==If we put aside political correctness, concerning Korcula's history==

If we put aside political correctness, one could ask the question what happened to the '''Roman families''' when the Slavs invaded the island of Korčula? <ref>In Croatian the c in Korcula is pronounced ''ch'' and is written "'''č'''".</ref> The Slavic tribes invaded the [[Directory:Fausto_Veranzio#Historical Perspectives on Dalmatia|Dalmatian]] province of the ''Byzantine Empire'' (Eastern Roman Empire).

'''Additional''':

* Venetian and Ragusan (Dubrovnik) families migrated to the island.

* Second ~~Slavic~~ Croatian migration in 17th and 18th century.

* Second Croatian (and other Slavs) migration in 17th and 18th century.

In this editors opinion to-days modern Korčula was originally a Roman town. It became a dual Latin Roman/Slavic town in the middle ages. With the arrival of Venetians in the 15th century it continued to evolve as such until the end of the Republic itself in 1797. Today we have surnames on the island that are not of Slavic origin, for example:

* Izmaeli - originally de '''Ismael'''

*"Dubrovnik's '''Jewish''' community, first mentioned in '''1352''', grew in number after 1492 following the expulsion of Jews from Spain, ... Through the centuries it has been used as a customs office and the city mint (Ragusa minted its own money..."</ref><ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=7RyKgdyV8VgC&pg=PA82&dq=orthodox+church++Dubrovnik&hl=en&ei=VEh2TZPoJsfJcb6kkYUF&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CF8Q6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=orthodox%20church%20%20Dubrovnik&f=false Croatia] by Michael Schuman

*"Dubrovnik also has a small mosque where the city's 4000 '''Muslims''' worship, and the nearby '''Serbian''' Orthodox Church, which by Dubrovnik standards is fairly new, dating to the 1800s."</ref> The Republic was a Maritime nation that traded all over the Mediterranean and even had trade with the Americas. Additionally it was in competition with Venice itself.

*Dalmatia - The Land Where East Meets West by Maude Holbach (a 1910 travel guide from COSIMO books and publications [[New York]] USA) writing about Dubrovnik:

{{Cquote|''Two hundred years later that, is, early in the tenth century you might have heard Slavish and Latin spoken had you walked in the streets of Ragusa, just as you hear Slavish and Italian today; for as times of peace followed times of war, the Greek and Roman inhabitants of Rausium intermarried with the surrounding Slavs, and so a mixed race sprang up, a people apart from the rest of Dalmatia.'' <ref>[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=EcvNw81I3hkC&pg=PA121&dq=Dalmatia:+The+Land+Where+East+Meets+West+Slavish+and+Italian+today&hl=en&ei=J46dTKDEF4XOvQOT_PS4DQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false Dalmatia: The Land Where East Meets West] by Maude Holbach (p121)
