The Diet of Dalmatia (Croatian, Dalmatinski sabor, Serbian: Далматински сабор, Dalmatinski sabor; Italian: Dieta della Dalmazia) was the regional assembly of the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was founded in 1861 in Zadar and was eventually dissolved in the early 1900s.
The pro-Italian Autonomists held the parliamentary majority since the founding of the Dalmatian diet until 1870, when the (Croatian) People's Party won the parliamentary elections. Croatian became the official language of the diet in 1883.

Famous quotes containing the words diet of and/or diet:
“Literary tradition is full of lies about poverty—the jolly beggar, the poor but happy milkmaid, the wholesome diet of porridge, etc.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
