WThe Mataruge were a medieval Albanian tribe which originally lived in Old Herzegovina and southern Dalmatia. Their name is attested in historical record for the first time in 1222 in the Pelješac peninsula of Dalmatia. Throughout the 20th century, they were considered to have stopped existing as a separate community during the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans in the 15th century. Modern research in the Ottoman archives showed that they had dispersed throughout the western Balkans following Ottoman conquest and formed settlements in other areas. By 1477, a part of them lived in the kaza of Prijepolje, where they formed their own distinct community (nahiye) with 10 villages (katund). One of their leaders appears in the defter to have been a Vojko Arbanash. Other Mataruga communities had moved in central Croatia and Bosnia. Over time they became culturally integrated in the surrounding communities of their new homelands. Families who trace their origin to the tribe are found today in all countries of the western Balkans.

WThe Španji or Shpani were a medieval Albanian clan or fis. They inhabited the region of Nikšić and the valley of the river Zeta in modern-day Montenegro, while also being widespread around Shkodër and Pult. According to folk legends, they were the oldest tribe in the region, while also being in frequent conflict with many other tribes such as the Macure or Bukumiri. They are commonly treated as one of the non-Slavic, "Old Balkanic" people that were assimilated (Slavicized) into the Serb ethnos. Serbianisation of the Španji and other tribes in the region began in the 6th and 7th centuries and according to M. Radovanović (2004) was completed when Serbs from surrounding regions retreated to the mountains of Montenegro and Herzegovina because of the 14th- and 15th century Ottoman invasion. The Špani were quite a rich clan, and its riches,flourished in Albania. In support of this fact we can say that in the cadastre of Shkodra of the year 1416-1417 many Špani (Shpani) are mentioned,being prevalent in the suburbs of Shkodra and owning land and villages, while also reaping privileges from Venetian possessions.
