Arbanasi (Arbanasi: Arbëneshë)[2] is an ethnic community in and around the city of Zadar region in northern Dalmatia region of Croatia who are of Albanian ethnic origin. They are traditional speakers of the Arbanasi dialect of Gheg Albanian.[3] Their name is an obsolete way to say Albanians in Croatian and is the toponymy of the first Arbanasi settlement in the region, which today is a suburb of Zadar.[4] In Albanian literature, they are known as "Albanians of Zadar" (Arbëreshët e Zarës).
