Hrvat in medieval times was pronounced "Harvat or Hrovat". Harvat/Hrovati was translated to Latin: Chroatorum and then simplified to Croatorum.
modern Croatian: Hrvatska
Old Chakavian Slavi speakers (Croatian tribes) must arrived in the early 700s (8th Century AD) and made the Dalmatian hinterland there home, one group went west as far as Histri (modern: Istria) and the other eastward to Montenegro.
There are no contemporary written records of Chakavian-Slavic speakers (Croatian tribes) invasion/migration/settlement or about the events as a whole in area itself.
It is quite possible that the area had a drop in population and the military presents of the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) and the Carolingian Empire was minimal or even non existent. This would have lead to a easy invasion/migration/settlement of the area concern (opportunity beckons). The Roman Latin-Illyrian population as well as Liburnians, Greeks and others would have to endured the arrival of theses Sclaveni (Slavs).
