  Dalmatian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dalmatian is an extinct Romance language formerly spoken along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia and as far south as Kotor in Montenegro.
His language was studied by an Italian scholar, Matteo Giulio Bartoli who visited him in 1897 and wrote down thousands of words, stories, accounts of his life, which were published in a book, with Italian translation, which provides much information on the vocabulary, phonology and grammar of the language.
An analytization trend can be observed in Dalmatian: Nouns and adjectives began losing their gender and number inflictions, the noun declination disappeared completely and the verb conjugations began to follow the same path, however, the verb kept genders (masculine and feminine) and numbers.

Dalmatian vocabulary contains the majority of words from Latin origin, though the percentage of Slavic (Serbo-Croatian) words is rather high as well.

The Latin influence was increased and the Byzantine practices were further suppressed on the general synods of 1059-1060, 1066, 1075-1076 and on other local synods, notably by demoting the bishopric of Nin, installing the archbishoprics of Spalatum (Split) and Dioclea (Bar), and explicitely forbidding use of any liturgy other than Greek or Latin.
