  • Šestani (Albanian: Shestan, Serbian Cyrillic: Шестани) is a sub-region within Skadarska Krajina, in southernmost Montenegro. The region is a small mountain plateau of which terrace slopes towards the Skadar Lake. The region is predominantly populated by Albanians, most of whom are Muslims. The Arbanasi people in the Zadar region are thought to have hailed from the villages of Briska (Brisk), Šestan (Shestan), Livari (Ljare), and Podi (Pod) having settled the Zadar area in 1726–27 and 1733 on the decision of Archbishop Vicko Zmajević of Zadar, in order to repopulate the land.The Dabovići in Dobra Voda and the Markići in Komina, both villages in Mrkojevići came from the Albanian-speaking region of Shestan. The region was divided into two, and in 1876, Gornji Šestani encompassed the villages of Lukići (Lukaj), Dedići (Dedaj), Marvučići (Rud), Gurza (Gurrëzë) and Barlovići (Bardhaj), while Donji Šestani encompassed Ðuravci (Gjuraç), Karanikići (Nrekaj, Nenmal), Dračevica (Pecaj), Marstijepovići (Bujgër) and Vučedabići (Uçdabaj). In 1857, Šestani was inhabited by 579 people. The Albanian dialect spoken in Shestan is part of the Northwestern Gheg group. (en)
