BUILDING DALMATIAN HOMELAND: Fictional account of creation of artificial island where revived dalmatian language is spoken and dalmatian culture preserved (DALMATIAN LANGUAGE BOOKS)

Inspired by speech of famous Biagio Caboga "How dear this homeland is to me - he exclaimed - is proven by the services
rendered to it by one of my ancestors after the fatal earthquake of the year
1667, and by those that I myself have performed on various diplomatic
missions entrusted to me. However, this homeland, now threatened with the
loss of its freedom, of the institutions established by our ancestors and
preserved by us, will no longer be the homeland of free and independent
citizens. We are equipped with a sufficient number of seagoing ships. Let us
prefer emigration with our families, our goods, the state treasury, and our
laws, to making it a slave to violence sustained by force of arms. The Great
Sultan has treated us graciously. We shall beseech him to grant us asylum on
some island of the Archipelago, or in some other part of his dominions, where
in a new Epidaurus we could deposit our laws, preserve our customs, and
maintain our institutions."

This book creates fictional scenario where descendant of latin dalmatian families and speakers of revived dalmatian language create artificial island near coast of Italy, and rebuild dalmatian society there, based on legacy of Republic if Ragusa, dalmatian autonomous communes and dalmatian language as recorded from Tuone Udaina.
This book also contain few appendixes about dalmatian language, culture and history.
