What happens here? Is it just tourism? Do people move to these islands?
>>214367815Tourism + rich westoids have their summer houses there. And there is a torture museum on Goli Otok island.
>>214367815As far as I know only Krk has something more than tourism. It's connected with a bridge, planned construction of a railway bridge for its LNG terminal, a massively underutilized Rijeka international airport, GP Krk which is one of the biggest domestic construction companies etc>do people move thereNot really, it's too expensive for most Croats whose families don't already own something there.

>>214367815I'm from an island. People are usually leaving the islands, not moving here. Half the houses in the village are apartments for rent. The whole village revolves around tourism and preparing for the season. There's two local cafes that are active all year, the rest depend on the season. The people that still live there are mostly older people, the ones that work are fishermen or go to the continent which means ferry rides every day. You end up having the ferry schedule imprinted into your brain. If you want fun, best move is going to the village next to yours. There's few young people who choose to stay and it's highly unlikely any of them will have a university degree. There's an elementary school where multiple classes of kids of different ages are held simultanously in the same classroom by the same teacher because all the village 5th graders are a total of two kids. For high school, kids take ferry rides to the continent. Some villages don't get much tourism and are basically a collection of houses, with one store, one cafe, a church and people that travel for work or do fishing. It's nice for a while, but it gets too boring. There's only so much times you can walk from one end of the village to the other. If 10 girls reject you, that's it, you're done, those were the 10 girls available, you can die alone now. Some islands have relatively big towns like Hvar, I imagine it's a bit livelier.The people can be really unhinged. There's no police station on my island. The law is what the islanders agree the law is. If you're a non-islander trying to push some justice of yours, you're going to get fucked and your car especially is getting fucked and there's no chance in hell you're getting cops to take a ferry ride just to take your report unless there's a body involved.
>>214372667do you speak chakavian? can you read glagolitic?
Imagine being a Catholic Serbian looting Italian mansions after WW1.
>>214372687I speak Shtokavian, I don't live there anymore, I remember some words, grandma knows way more. It's pretty much switching to Chakavian-flavoured Shktokavian.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPrYj26JfHE>>214372705Italians didn't settle on Dalmatian islands.
>>214372842>vonkain Ri we say "vanka"but it generally sounds very familiar, it could pass as a dialect from some island village in PGŽI think Chakavians from Istria to Central Dalmatia can understand each other much better than many Kajkavians between Međimurje and Gorski kotar.
>>214367815One of those islands, Susak, is full of boomers who lived in the US for decades and then returned. They speak in a unique dialect which is part Old Croatian part Italian part French part German part 'Murican English.
>>214373641>part German>>214373247Nađrmo se kod Gubera za 20 min.
>>214373641It was either Susak or Unije but I remember seeing a baba that lived there her entire life speak in her dialect on TV once. It was so bizarre, the only time I've seen our national broadcaster use subtitles for a Chakavian dialect.

>>214367815give me a qrd on croatia and croatian culture.
>>214374113Weird mix of Mediterranean, Balkan, German and Hungarian influence while populated by Catholic Slavs.
>>214374113A germanic (ostrogoth) Volk that speak a slavic tongue. Got completely fucked throughout the ottoman conquests, losing most of its land. Beginning of the 20th century looked promising at regaining it but then a series of unfortunate world events led us to being genetically compromised since brown vlachs and serbs call themselves croats nowadays and ruin our actual culture by superimposing theirs over it.
>>214374113Serfs who were liberated by communism in 1945
>>214374240>>214374327what are some aspects of croatian culture? Popular or otherwise. >vlachs and serbs call themselves croatsI met an aromanian once who called himself a croatian aromanian. Had him for a class but didn't really speak to him much. Not sure why that was the only thing he really told me about himself in the three or so times I talked to him.
>>214374447In the north and west, normal mitteleurope stuff. Dalmatia has a mediterranean vibe along the coast. The east is very reminiscent of hungary.Pop culture is very americanised, we used to make our own stuff but no longer do. The already mentioned vlachs and bosnian croats brought with them serbian music.m shich now dominates amings the uneducated and party going young of any genetic purity. Truly sad. We followed each artistic movement that occured in western Europe and fashion followed suit. Not sure what else to say.
