Sažetak
Epigraphic materials are among the essential indicators
of the language spoken by the Roman populace
and they stand as testimony to the gradual development
of the Latin into the Romance languages. This
is because it provides a picture of the language used
by the people themselves, which differed from the
language in which literary works were written and
which is deemed the standard. This work is therefore
based on the extensive inscription materials of diverse
types (sepulchral, votive, honorary…) found in the
territory of the Roman province of Dalmatia. Among
the inspected epigraphic monuments, those on which
deviations in language in comparison to the norms
of classical Latin may be seen were highlighted. To
the greatest extent, research concentrated on changes
in the framework of phonetics, because in short and
concise forms such as the texts in these inscriptions
they are the most relevant for analysis and obtaining
specific results. The objective of this work is to delve
deeper into the problems pertaining to Vulgar Latin
traits and see what they say about the Latin language
that was used in the territory of Roman Dalmatia.
