Talk:Vasojevići
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasojevci are the only genetically real Ilirs in Montenegro. They are not serbs, they are more close to Albanians. They only have christian orthodox religion and they speak montenegrin, but naturally they are Albanians. They only want to be serbians, it's their complex attitude to life, but they will never be.
Who told you that Vasojevici are Albanians? Such statement would not be appreciated at all by them - as they consider them "Serbs living in Montenegro". Have you ever read anything about their history? There has been some kind of project, during last 20 years by one historian who published that Vasojevics are actually Nemanjic descendants (and it would be insult if you say that Nemanjic Royal House aren't Serbs). I have obtained Vasojevic's family tree, and I will soon publish it here - to prove you are wrong. But you weren't completely wrong, I must admit. Two wings of Vasojevic clan are Albanian Orthodox, but that doesn't mean that Vasojevici are Albanians! Do you know that brotherhood clans of Vasojevici are Piperi - one of the largest Montenegrin clans (they both have same ascendant - Vaso, unofficial son of Dusan the Emperor, and grand-grand son of King Vukan of Zeta), which is another proof Vasojevici, generally are not Albanians, but Serbs.
[edit] Use native terms
I suggest that you don't use terms 'tribe' and 'clan' or 'bratherhood' since they may be misleading, but use native terms (Pleme and Bratstvo) instead. Please see discussion page at the article Serbian clans. In the way it is now, it is not clear if you speak of pleme or bratstvo, since you use both clan and tribe in English text. It would be also necessary to add refferences to some printed work. Bezvardis 19:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
