In this "sequel" we will see how Dalmatia, from the scattered cities and islands, has become what we consider Dalmatia today.
I will also explain where the historical pretensions of the Italians to Dalmatia came from.

Everything we do and don't know about Dalmatia in the period of 2 centuries after the arrival of the Slavs, ie the end of organized Roman rule and written news about the events in it can be underlined and summarized by the provisions of the Peace treaty in Aachen, signed in 812.

- Montenegro and
- (western) Serbia.
Well, how did we come from THAT Dalmatia to what we know today under the term Dalmatia? ⬇️

The Romans ruled this area continuously for 411 years (until 480).
In those 400 years or so, there have been several territorial reorganizations and changes in borders, we have no room to list them all. But one was crucial... ⬇️

Porijeklo imena Dalmacije.
Ime Dalmacija je rimsko i datira iz prvog stoljeća poslije Krista.
Međutim, korijen toga naziva još je stariji, ne znamo ni sami koliko datira u prošlost...

Prve vijesti u pisanom tragu o našim krajevima ostavili su nam stari Grci.
Oni su još u 4. stoljeću prije Krista uplovili u Jadran i osnovali nekoliko svojih kolonija, na otocima i obali.
Time zapravo započinje povijest ovih krajeva. ⬇️

Fun fact: the term 'vampyr' first appeared in an 11th century Slavic manuscript vilifying #Bogomils, a #Gnostic dualist heresy that was endemic to the #Balkans

Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.
The #Slavic branch of the #IndoEuropean #languages began about 2,000 years later when Proto-Slavic deviated from Proto-Balto-Slavic.

As the #Slavic-speaking area expanded during the first millennium CE (striped area on map), Proto-Slavic transitioned to Common Slavic. The #language underwent minor changes that occurred mostly uniformly across eastern #Europe, thereby maintaining mutual intelligibility.
Around the year 1000 CE #CommonSlavic began to split into the South, West, and East branches to which all modern #Slavic #languages belong.
Roughly 315m people speak a Slavic #language, mostly in Eastern #Europe (including the #Balkan peninsula), #CentralAsia, and #Siberia.
