* Certain Slavic groups (that were physically close to each other) later started to integrate as one and created a third group: Chakavian-Shokavian Slav mix.

Chakavian Slavs settled in today’s Dalmatian Hinterland and the Shokavian Slavs settled in today’s Kosovo. Later they started to interact spread and integrate with the inhabitants of the region that were there prior to their arrival. This being mainly the Romans and others (i.e. Illyrians, Liburnians, Greeks).
Chakavian Slavs settled in today’s Dalmatian Hinterland (Shokavian Slavs settled in area around today’s Kosovo).

The third group was later heavily influenced by historical events of the Ottoman invasion (the Turks defeated the Serbian army in 1371). These group of peoples started migrating west as well as Shokavian Slavs (certain Shokavian Slavs groups started identify themselves as Serbs now). These late medieval migrations laid down some of the language dialects in the Western Balkans that we have today. An example of this is evident in today's modern region of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the old Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) where the Slavic people within these regions became predominately Slavic Shokavian speakers.
