This presentation will offer an overview of the past and present of Zadar Venetian dialect called Zaratino. The origins of the dialect stem from a hundred-year long Roman-Slavic contact and the Venetian presence on the Eastern Adriatic. It was at its strongest in the period between the great wars when in 1936 the population of Zadar, Croatia counted 68% of Italian residents. However, the bombings of the city nucleus in 1943/44 caused an abrupt exodus of 20 000 Zaratino speakers and interrupted the continuity of a long-lasting Venetian dialect in Dalmatia. Zaratino speakers or Zaratini represent today an ethno-linguistic minority whose community vernacular is characterized for a severe language endangerment. Therefore, in this talk we will examine the communicational role of Zaratino today and the attitudes of its speakers in regard to language use then and now. In the final part of the talk we will discuss some considerations for endangered language preservation.
