Croatians
Adriatic coastal Europeans
Croatians are people from Croatia, a country on the Adriatic coast of southeastern Europe, or people of Croatian descent.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: Croatian cuisine, a community of Croatians in Chicago.
Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, and Croatians are ethnically and linguistically distinct from neighboring Serbs despite historical ties.
