History will come soon...
A bit on religion: Dalmatsia is primarily Catholic, but there are a small
number of Eastern Orthodox dating from the time of empire and a small
number of Muslims, dating from Turkish times.
Anyway, here's a little taster of the language.
The orthography is basically Italian, but:
z = /z/
j = /Z/
y = /j/
Stress is on the penult. Note that the masculine plural marker -ri is not
stresschanging: /`patru/ "father", /`patruri/ "fathers"
IN Nomna da Patrul, e da Fiyul, e da Spretul Santu.
Gloria a Patrul e a Fiyul e a Spretul Santu, scu aira in inetsiul, ye nunc
e sciampru, e in seclu da secluri.
Patrul da nos, che yes in chelul, santu ye nomnaya da tu.
Benia riamnul da tu;
Fascea bolunta da tu scu in chelul e in tiaraya.
Duan a nos audzie poanul da nos cotidziul
e dzimet a nos daiteyea da nos,
scu e nos dzimetme daitoruri da nos.
E ne induci nos in-a tentoatsaya,
a liaroat nos da malu.
Ai Maria, plaina da groatsa;
Domnul ye cu tai.
Tu yes biaoata apu muyere
e biaoatu ye fruptaya da biantrul da tu, Yezu.
Santa Maria,
Matru da Dziu,
Ruag se pra nos pecoatoruri,
nunc e in oraya da muartul da nos.
Amen.
