== Dalmatian Italians Article ==
He is an example of '''cultural genocide''' on Wikipedia the free encyclopaedia. The historic information below was deleted because it doesn't reflect the '''dated''' point of view of the former [[Communists|Communist]] Yugoslavia. According to the current version history started in Dalmatia- Southern [[Europe]] in 997 A.D, we somehow lost the history of the Roman Empire.

===Characteristics===
After the 1840s the ethnic group suffered from an apparently constant trend of decreasing presence and now numbers only around 1,000 people. Throughout history, however, this group (though small in numbers in the last centuries) exerted a disproportionally significant influence on the region.
They are currently represented in Croatia and Montenegro by the ''Italian National Community'' ([[Italian language|Italian]]: ''Comunita Nazionale Italiana'') (CNI). The Italo-Croatian minorities treaty recognizes the ''Italian Union'' (Unione Italiana) as the political party officially representing the CNI in Croatia.<ref>[http://www.unione-italiana.hr Unione Italiana - Talijanska unija - Italijanska Unija]</ref> The number of Dalmatian Italians in Croatia has fallen to 300, and the Italian Union concentrates on the [[Istria]]n region and the city of [[Rijeka]] (Fiume), which are home to the vast majority of the Italian minority in Croatia (numbering around 30,000 citizens).
In Dalmatia the most important centers of the CNI are in [[Split]] (Spalato), [[Zadar]] (Zara), and [[Kotor]] (Cattaro). <ref>[[http://www.unione-italiana.hr/le_comunita_degli_italiani.htm Main CNI centers]</ref> They have their own newspapers<ref>[http://www.anvgd.it/da/200601.pdf Dalmatian Italian Media]</ref>.
===History===
=== Roman Dalmatia and the Middle ages ===
Roman Dalmatia was fully latinized by 476 AD when the [[Western Roman Empire]] disappeared, according to scholar [[Theodor Mommsen]] in his book "The Provinces of the Roman Empire".
During the [[Barbarian Invasions]] [[Eurasian Avars|Avar]]s allied with certain [[Slavic peoples#Slavs in the historical period|Slavic tribes]], invaded and plundered [[Byzantine]] [[Illyria]]. This eventually led to the settlement of different [[Slavs|Slavic]] tribes in the [[Balkans]].
The original Roman population endured within the coastal cities and in the inhospitable [[Dinaric Alps]] (the latter were later known as "[[Morlachs]]" or Vlachs).
The Dalmatian cities retained their Romanic culture and [[Latin language|language]] in cities such as [[Zadar|Jadera]] (Zadar, Zara), [[Split|Spalatum]] (Split, Spalato) and [[Dubrovnik|Ragusa]] (Dubrovnik). Their own [[vulgar Latin]], developed in the [[Dalmatian language]], a now extinct [[Romance languages|Romance language]]. <br />
These coastal cities (politically part of the [[Byzantine Empire]]) maintained political, cultural and economic links with Italy, through the [[Adriatic sea]]. On the other side communications with the mainland were difficult because of the [[Dinaric Alps]]. Due to the sharp [[orography]] of Dalmatia, even communications between the different Dalmatian cities, occurred mainly trough the sea.
This helped Dalmatian cities to develop a unique Romance culture, despite the mostly Slavicized mainland.}}
