Macure
The Macure were an Albanian tribe that lived on the territory on the part of Montenegro which is today known as Šekular. Bratonožići and Rovčani, Rovci. Like other non-Slavic tribes of Montenegro, they were either assimilated or expelled. The majority of scholars consider them to have been of Albanian origin. Today, their name is preserved in local Serbian legends and myths, while their name is sometimes used in Montenegro as derogative. Origin Milan Šufflay was the first to set the hypothesis that Macure were of Albanian origin, like Mataguzi (tribe), Mataguži, Maine, Malonšići and Bukumiri. This hypothesis about Macure was accepted by many other authors, including Pantelić. Vladimir Ćorović presented a hypothesis that one of the possibilities is that Macure are related to Albanian Macarke or Macreke. Jovan Erdeljanović believed they were of Vlach origin whose name was derived from some Roman word which basis was ''mazz''. Etymology Macure might be related to ...

Piperi (tribe)
Piperi ( cyrl, Пипери) is a historical tribe (''pleme'') of Albanian origin and a region in northeastern Montenegro. Piperi is located between the Morača and Zeta rivers up to the northern suburbs of the Montenegrin capital Podgorica. Origins Originally an Albanian tribe ( sq, Pipri), the Piperi underwent a process of gradual cultural integration into the neighbouring Slavic population. A Franciscan report of the 17th century illustrates the final stages of their acculturation. Its author writes that the Bratonožići, Piperi, Bjelopavlići and Kuči:"'' nulla di meno essegno quasi tutti del rito serviano, e di lingua Illrica ponno piu presto dirsi Schiavoni, ch' Albanesi ''" (since almost all of them use the Serbian rite and the Illyric (Slavic) language, soon they should be called Slavs, rather than Albanians). Historical research has shown that Piperi is not a tribe (''pleme'') of common patrilineal ancestry. It formed in the period between the mid 15th century and the ...

Albanian Tribe
The Albanian tribes ( sq, fiset shqiptare) form a historical mode of social organization (''farefisní'') in Albania and the southwestern Balkans characterized by a common culture, often common patrilineal kinship ties tracing back to one progenitor and shared social ties. The ''fis'' ( sq-definite, fisi; commonly translated as "tribe", also as "clan" or "kin" community) stands at the center of Albanian organization based on kinship relations, a concept which can be found among southern Albanians also with the term ''farë'' ( sq-definite, fara). Inherited from ancient Illyrian social structures, Albanian tribal society emerged in the early Middle Ages as the dominant form of social organization among Albanians. The development of feudalism came to both antagonize it, but also slowly integrate aspects of it in Albanian feudal society as most noble families themselves came from these tribes and depended on their support. This process stopped after the Ottoman conquest of Albania a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bratonožići
The Bratonožići ( sr-Cyrl, Братоножићи, ) is a historical tribe (''pleme'') of Albanian origin in the Brda region of Montenegro. It appeared during the Ottoman period and was a captaincy of the Principality of Montenegro in the 19th century. Today, it forms part of northeastern Podgorica Municipality. In Montenegro, the majority of people who trace their origin in Bratonožići identify as Christian Orthodox Montenegrins and Christian Orthodox Serbs. Brotherhoods (''bratstvo'') from the historical tribe that settled in Bijelo Polje and became Muslims in the Ottoman period identify as Bosniaks. In the 18th century, many families from the region settled in western Serbia. In Kosovo, a part of the Serbs of western Kosovo come from Bratonožići. Geography The Bratonožići tribal region is a rugged, hilly area at an altitude which ranges from 400 to 450m.

Mataguzi (tribe)
Mataguzi (alternatively, ''Matagushi'' or ''Mataguzhi'', sr-Cyrl, Матагужи, sr-Lat, Mataguži) was an Albanian tribe in the Middle Ages in southern Montenegro, on the northern shores of Lake Skadar. Their area of settlement included the modern village of Mataguži which takes its name from the tribe. History They appear in historical record for the first time in 1330 in the Dečani chrysobulls as part of the Albanian (''arbanas'') ''katun'' (pastoral community) of Llesh Tuzi, in an area stretching southwards from modern Tuzi Municipality along the Lake Skadar to a village near modern Koplik. This katund included many communities that later formed their own separate communities: Matagushi and his brothers, Reçi and his sons, Bushati and his sons, Pjetër Suma (ancestor of Gruda) and Pjetër Kuçi, first known ancestor of Kuči. About a century later, the Mataguzi were nominally vassals of Balša III. Their lands bordered those of Hoti with whom they were in disp ...

Malonšići
Malonšići (in older forms: Malončići and Malonjšiki, Cyrillic: Малоншићи) was a historical tribe (''pleme'') and area in the Brda region of Montenegro. Malonšići were located between modern Danilovgrad and Podgorica. By the late 15th century they were slavicized and later assimilated into Bjelopavlići. Etymology The Malonšići were of Albanian origin. Their name is related to the Albanian word ''mal'' (mountain), a toponym and anthroponym which is very frequent among Albanian communities in modern Montenegro. The locality of ''Malenza'' in their home territory has been connected by P. Šobajić to their name and has been interpreted as a compound ''mal'' and ''zi'' (black). Geography The tribe encompassed parts of what was later Zagarač, Komani and Bjelopavlići. The area of the Malonšići is located in southern Danilovgrad Municipality and northern Podgorica municipality. The tribe lived in the basin of the Zeta, Sušica and Mareza rivers. History Th ...

Bukumiri
Bukumiri (alternatively, ''Bukmiri'') was an Albanian tribe (''fis'') that lived in present-day central and south-eastern Montenegro. They were semi-nomadic pastoralists whose social organization was based on kinship around brotherhoods of common patrilineal ancestry. Over time they began to settle permanently and in the 15th and 16th centuries they formed their own settlements mostly in Montenegro, but a few branches also in northern Albania. In later years, branches of Bukumiri are also found in Sandzak and Kosovo. Name The name is a compound of the Albanian words ''bukë'' (bread) and mirë (good). Their name has been interpreted figuratively as an indication of their wealth. Today, in Montenegro their historical presence has been preserved in the toponym of ''Bukumirsko jezero'' (Bukumir lake) on Mt. Komovi, the location ''Bukmira'' (Ulcinj municipality) and the surnames ''Bukumirić'', ''Bukumirović'' and ''Bukumira'' or ''Bukumire''. In Albania, it is preserved in the t ...
