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.
