Medieval
Duklja, today's southern half of Montenegro, under Stefan Vojislav, was inhabited by ancestors of today's Montenegrins.
Various documents listed that the inhabitants of Medieval Doclea or Zeta were called Doclean, but also minor populations of Latins, Albanians and Vlachs. The language in usage was primarily the Serbian dialect of Old Slavonic, while in the early stages Latin also had importance and Greek to an extent among the high-class members of the society.

Famous quotes containing the word medieval:
“Our medieval historians who prefer to rely as much as possible on official documents because the chronicles are unreliable, fall thereby into an occasionally dangerous error. The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The Christos-image
is most difficult to disentangle
from its art-craft junk-shop
paint-and-plaster medieval jumble
of pain-worship and death-symbol.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The medieval town, with frieze
Of boy scouts from Nagoya?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
