Dalmatic or Dalmatico-Romance (Italian: dalmatico; Croatian: dalmatski) was a group of Romance varieties that developed along the coast of Dalmatia. Over the centuries they were increasingly influenced, and then supplanted, by Croatian and Venetian.[1]

It has not been demonstrated that Dalmatic belonged to a larger branch of Romance or even that its varieties constituted a valid genetic grouping of their own.[2]

Dalamatic language should not be confused to modern Croatian dialect called "Dalmatian", which is spoken on most part of Adriatic coast of Croatia.
