Villages in the municipality include Gusinje. ==History== In the [[Middle Ages]], there was a ''[[župa]]'' (district) named [[Plav (župa)|Plav]] at the source of the flow of the [[Lim (river)|Lim river]] and around the [[Plav lake]].<ref name="LOMA2013"/> It is mentioned in several medieval Serbian documents.<ref name="LOMA2013"/> After the Serbian-Venetian nobleman [[Mariano Bolizza]] in Cattaro (Kotor), who wrote the Relazione e descrizione del sangiacato di Scutari ("Relations and Description of the Sanjak of Scutari") in 1614 most of Plav was inhabited by Albanians under the command of Sem Zaus (Cem Çaushi) of Podgorica.<ref>{{Citation |last=Bolizza |first=Mariano |author-link=Mariano Bolizza |title=Relations and Description of the Sanjak of Scutari |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_sHmTRCEe7kC&q=Report+and+Description+of+the+Sanjak+of+Shkodra&pg=PA130|isbn=9783447047838 |year=2003 }}</ref> The settlement of Plav itself was founded by the [[Ottoman Empire]].{{Citation needed|reason=Plav appears before the Ottoman presence in the region; please cite your source|date=April 2020}} The Ottoman census organised in 1582-83 registered the Plav [[nahiyah]] within the [[Sanjak of Scutari]] with 18 villages; according to historian [[Milan Vasić]] all inhabitants had personal names with a Serbian character, and no Muslims were present.<ref>{{Citation |last=Vasić |first=Milan |author-link=Milan Vasić |title=Stanovništvo slovenskog porijekla u Albaniji : zbornik radova sa međunarodnog naučnog skupa održanog u Cetinju 21, 22. i 23. juna 1990|year=1991 |language=sh|oclc=29549273|chapter=Etnički odnosi u jugoslovensko-albanskom graničnom području prema popisnom defteru sandžaka Skadar iz 1582/83. godine |chapter-url=http://www.rastko.rs/rastko-al/zbornik1990/mvasic-defteri_l.php }}</ref> According to a 16th-century travel record by [[Antonio Bruni (merchant)|Antonio Bruni]], the inhabitants of the Plav region are partly Albanian and partly Serbian, with a large proportion belonging to historical Albanian and Montenegrin tribes such as the [[Piperi (tribe)|Piperi]], [[Kuči]], [[Kelmendi (tribe)|Kelmendi]], and [[Bjelopavlići]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Malcolm|first=Noel|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ti7wDwAAQBAJ&newbks=0&printsec=frontcover&hl=en|title=Rebels, Believers, Survivors: Studies in the History of the Albanians|date=2020-07-10|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-259923-0|pages=54 |language=en}}</ref> From the mid-17th-century the [[Kelmend (tribe)|Kelmend]] tribe from northern Albania and the [[Kuči]] tribe began settling the Plav-Gusinje ravine, competing with other Serbian and Muslim Albanian immigrants from [[Malësia]] and [[Montenegro]], that were predominantly [[Serbian language|Serbian-speaking]].{{sfn|Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti|1985|p=110}} The small towns of Plav and Gusinje were also of mixed population, whose [[mother tongue]] was Serbian.{{sfn|Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti|1985|p=110}} The province was inhabited by a Serbian population (including to a lesser extent a Muslim population of Serb origin and language) and an Albanian population.{{sfn|Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti|1985|p=110}} In 1878, following the [[Treaty of Berlin (1878)|Treaty of Berlin]], the city of Plav was ceded to Montenegro by the Ottoman Empire despite having a Muslim-majority population. However, armed resistance of the [[League of Prizren]] and their victory against Montenegrin troops at [[Battle of Novšiće]] (1879) prevented the implementation. Ottomans had to cede [[Ulcinj]] to Montenegro after pressure from the [[Great Powers]] in 1881. Plav finally became part of Montenegro after the [[First Balkan War]] in 1912. In 1939, the population of Plav was estimated to have been predominantly Bosniak, while that of Gusinje predominantly Albanian and bilingual.<ref name=B30>{{cite book|title=Brastvo|volume=30|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YGoaAQAAIAAJ|year=1939|publisher=Društvo sv.

The town of Plav itself has 3,717 citizens. Plav is almost entirely Muslim and either Slavic-speaking or Albanian-speaking. The Slavic dialect of Gusinje and Plav shows very high structural influence from Albanian. Its uniqueness in terms of language contact between Albanian and Slavic is explained by the fact that most Slavic-speakers in today's Plav are of [[Albanians|Albanian]] origin.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Matthew C.| first1=Curtis |title=Slavic-Albanian Language Contact, Convergence, and Coexistence |publisher=The Ohio State University |year=2012|page=140}}</ref> As of 2011: * [[Bosniaks]] – 2,806 (75,50%)<ref name="Popis_2011">[http://monstat.org/cg/page.php?id=534&pageid=322 Zvanični rezultati popisa na web stranici Zavoda za statistiku Crne Gore]</ref> * [[Albanians]] – 341 (9,17%) * [[Montenegrins]] – 182 (4,90%) * [[Muslims (ethnic group)|Muslims]] – 175 (4,71%) * [[Serbs]] – 165 (4,44%) * Other – 48 (1,29%) Historical population: *1981 - 3,348 *1991 - 4,073 *2003 - 3,165 *2011 - 3,717 ==Notable people== *[[Jakup Ferri]], Albanian rebel *[[Esad Mekuli]], Albanian poet and scholar. *[[Miodrag Džudović]], footballer *[[Mirsad Huseinovic]], footballer *[[Mersim Beskovic]], footballer *[[Ekrem Jevrić]], singer *[[Jashar Rexhepagiq]], pedagogue and member of the Academy of Sciences of Kosovo *[[Radovan Zogović]], writer ==See also== *[[Sandžak]] *[[Gusinje]] *[[FK Jezero]] *[[Bosniaks of Montenegro]] ==References== {{reflist}} ==Sources== *{{cite book|title=Gornje Polimlje: priroda, stanovništvo i naselja|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y-rUJgAACAAJ|year=2005|publisher=Geografski institut Filozofskog fakulteta|isbn=978-86-7794-000-3}} *{{cite book|author=Srpska akademija nauka i umetnosti|title=Posebna izdanja|volume=566-567|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EBjDmKHVXykC|year=1985|page=110|quote=<!--Од средине XVII века почињу се самовољно насељавати по овој котлини албански Кли- менти и Кучи, конкуришући другим српским и албанским досељеницима из Ма- лесије и Црне Горе који су били муслиманске вере, али претежно српског је- зика.
