Dalmatian speakers were localized in Zadar (Jadera), Trogir (Tragur), Split ( Spalatro), Dubrovnik (Raugia, Ragusa) and Kotor (Cattaro). Each of these cities had a local dialect,as did the islands of Krk (Vikla), Cres (Crepsa) and Rab ( Arba). Only the Ragusan and Vegliote (Krk) dialects have left records, of which the Vegliote -- published by the Italian scholar Matteo Giulio Bartoli in 1906 -- is the most substantial. The last speaker died in 1898 AD.
