Curzola), few studied and real number of its speakers is nearly unknown. It appears to be a younger hybrid of Croat-Chakavian and Italic-Venetian dialects. After WW2, many its speakers were massacred by Yugoslav communist partisans in the foibes (natural vertical caverns) on islands Brač, Korčula and elsewhere.

| − | M Holleaux sums up the development of Illyrian society as follows: ''“These peoples were initially divided into independent peoples or tribes, with their respective rulers. At the 5th and the 4th century the most prominent of peoples in the south were the Taulanti, whose king Glaucas dared stand up to Alexander, beat Cassander, took Pyrrhus under his protection, and demonstrated his might to the nearby Greek cities of Dyrach, Apollonia and '''Corcyra''', either as an ally or as an enemy. We assume that some time after the year 250 – without knowing the exact period of time – the entire political system mentioned above disappeared. A great Illyrian state was established thereafter and it was ruled by one single ruler, whose rule was recognized by local dynasties and leaders of peoples or cities. The origin of that state and the time when it came into being are unknown. It seems, however, the unification which resulted in the creation of that state was carried out by the tribe of Ardiaei”.'' <ref>M.Holleaux; Les Romains en Illyria, Etudes d’ epigraphie et d’ histoire grecque, IV, 81 in Cabbanes 1988, 49.</ref><ref>[http://balkancenter.org/Anglisht/ardian.ilyrianbosna.html#_ftn4 Illyrian Bosnia and Herzegovina – an overview of a cultural legacy] Writen by: Ardian Axhanela</ref>

| − | Danijel Dzino states:
| |
| − | {{Cquote|''The first evidence of the Croat name, dux/rex Croatorum, does not appear until the ninth century. The Charter of Duke Trpimir is indeed the oldest text that mentions the Croat name, dux Chroatorum but its authenticity is disputed for good reason.The earliest certain evidence is the title dux Cruatorum from duke Branimir's inscription (c. 880), so that before this date we cannot assume with certainty that the Croat identity existed at all.'' <ref>[http://mq.academia.edu/DanijelDzino/Papers/163667/Becoming_Slav_Becoming_Croat_New_approaches_in_research_of_identities_in_post-Roman_Illyricum 'Becoming Slav’, ‘Becoming Croat’: New approaches in research of identities in post-Roman Illyricum] by Danijel Dzino </ref> }}
| |
| − | Another primary source that mentions the Croatian-Hrvat identity in the Balkans was concerning Dux Cruatorum Branimero or Prince Branimir (Latin: dux Croatorum). It appeared c. 880 AD. Prince Branimir was a Slav Dalmatian. Hrvat or Horoúathos are names of Sarmatian orgins. In 1853 a Russian archaeologist Pavel Mikhailovich Leontjev discovered the Tanais Tablets. The Tanais Tablets mention three men: Horoúathos, Horoáthos, and Horóathos (Χορούαθ[ος], Χοροάθος, Χορόαθος). They are written in Greek and are from the 3rd century AD from the city of Tanais, today's Azov, Russia. At that time the region had a mixed Greek - Sarmatian (Iranian) population.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The term Slav was first used by the Byzantines (i.e. Procopius-Byzantine scholar, Jordanes- 6th century Roman bureaucrat) and was recorded in the 6th century (cia. 550) in Greek (Σκλαβῖνοι-Sklabenoi). Later in Latin it was written Sclaveni.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Croatian Slavic tribes invaded the region of Roman Dalmatia in the early Middle Ages. Prior to the arrival of the Slavs, Roman Dalmatia was mainly inhabited by a Roman Latin-Illyrian population. Sections of the old Roman Dalmatian province became part of the Kingdom of Croatia (925–1102). Some historians have placed the arrival of Slavs (in larger groups) to be in the region of the 8th century or even the 9th century.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Contemporary historian Danijel Dzino states that the 19 century theories of mass movements of people into the old Roman Province of Dalmatia are questionable. Modern Archaeological and Scholarly research seems to be saying that we are looking at much smaller groups of Slavs and Avars invading the region. According to Danijel Dzino the term Slavs was first used by outside observers of the day to describe the newcomers. The Slavs used the term to describe themselves at a later stage. Thus began the construct identity of the new arrivals. Later the Slavic peoples started to identify themselves and separated (or were separated by others) into different groups.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The issue of dates is an interesting one. Historians from the 18th and 19th century place the arrival of the Slavs into the Western Balkans in the 7th century but the more modern research undertaken by scholars and archaeologists cannot confirm this. The arrival and settlement of the Slavs by some has now been thought to be more in the region of the 8th century or even early 9th century.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In my opinion they could be both correct. The first arrivals may have been with the Slavs and Avars (who were a nomadic people from Eurasian). This first wave of invasion would have been one of many in the region so the Romans would have abandoned their cities and towns (i.e. Epidaurum, Narona and Salona) and altogether their way of life. New cities were established with fortification. Cities such as Ragusa (today called Dubrovnik) and Spalatum later know as Spalato (today called Split). The cities that survived the invasions were fortified. The new arrivals would not have been significant enough to leave an historical footprint other than in the cities and towns of Roman Dalmatia where there remains physical evidence of attacks and raids.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The second wave appears to have been a intermix of Croatian Slavs who arrived later. This invasion was more gradual and slightly larger in numbers however nothing like the great wave of mass movement as describe by the 19th century Historians. By the time of the late 8th century and early 9th century their numbers were large enough to leave an historical footprint. This historical footprint would be the start of the written history as well as the recording of archaeological evidence. The historical footprint is one of settlement.

| |
| − | De Administrando Imperio (On the Governance of the Empire) by Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos is a book that was written between 948 and 952. It contains advice on running the empire as well as fighting foreign enemies. Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos was the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, sometimes known simply by its contemporaries as the Roman Empire. Today it is now know as The Byzantine Empire.
| |
| − | Porphyrogennetos would have written in terms of political identity rather than ethnicity. It was the Greco-Roman way. For a reader from the 10 century the book would have a different meaning than read by scholars from the 18th and 19th century.
