Abstract
Within a multidisciplinary anthropological study on the population
structure of Middle Dalmatian islands, the extent of linguistic
microdifferentiation has been analyzed in 45 villages ofthis region.
Through the analysis of basic vocabulary the differences and/or
similarities between the settlements are determined at the level of
contemporary Croatian dialects, subdialects and local speeches.
The estimated linguistic distances are discussed in view of known
population migration throughout history.
