In the 1860s, during the [[Austria|Austrian]] rule of the Kingdom of Dalmatia, the ethnic group started to suffer from a trend of decreasing numbers ~~and only around 1000 of the group remain~~.

'''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 Kingdom of Dalmatia, the ethnic group started to suffer from a trend of decreasing numbers.

When Austria occupied Dalmatia the Italian (Venetian speaking) population, was (according to the Italian linguist Bartoli) nearly one third of the Dalmatia in the first half of the 19th century. The 1816 Austro-Hungarian census registered 66 000 Italian speaking people among the 301 000 inhabitants of Dalmatia, or 22% of the total Dalmatian population. After World War II, the Dalmatian Italian population was reduced to 300 in Dalmatia and 500 in Montenegro. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.enotes.com/genocide-encyclopedia/yugoslavia|title="Yugoslavia."
