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 word diet:
“I learned from my two years’ experience that it would cost incredibly little trouble to obtain one’s necessary food, even in this latitude; that a man may use as simple a diet as the animals, and yet retain health and strength.... Yet men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of necessaries, but for want of luxuries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
