Ceklin
Ceklin (pronounced [tsɛ̌kliːn]) is one of the old clans of Montenegro, belonging to the Riječka Nahija (River Province). The origins of this tribe are from the base of Ceklinštak Mountain. This feuding tribe expanded in the late 17th century until finally it hit Skadar Lake and Rijeka Crnojevića (Crnojević River) by the 18th century. The tribe seat is at the village of Ceklin, which comprises thirteen brotherhoods. Other villages in the tribal region are: Strugari, Ulici, Bokovo, Jankovići, Đalci, Drušići, Rvaši, Zagora, Bobija, Vranjina, Dujeva (with smaller villages/subsections: Mihaljevići, Trnovi Do and Riječani), town of Žabljak (with many brotherhoods) and at the end of the territory known as Riječka Okolina and Varošica Rijeka in which there are other occupants.(written by Nikola V.Popovic).
