The Dardani (; ; (ラテン語:Dardani)), or Dardanians (Δαρδανίωνες) were a tribe which occupied the region that took its name from them of Dardania,〔("Δαρδάνιοι, Δάρδανοι, Δαρδανίωνες" ) Dardanioi, Georg Autenrieth, "A Homeric Dictionary", at Perseus〕〔(Latin Dictionary )〕 at the Thraco-Illyrian contact zone; their identification as either an Illyrian or Thracian tribe is uncertain.〔 〕〔 〕 Their territory itself was not considered part of Illyria by Strabo. The term used for their territory was (), while other tribal areas had more unspecified terms, such as (), for the Autariatae. Other than that, little to no data〔 〕 exists on the territory of the Dardani prior to Roman conquest, especially on its southern extent. Albanian historians concluded that the kingdom of Dardani included the territory of today's Kosovo and southern Serbia and later on north-western Macedonia during the wars with Macedonia. ==Etymology== According to Johann Georg von Hahn in 1854, 19th century historical linguistics concluded that ''Dardanoi'' and ''Dardania'' may be related to a word or derived from proto-Albanian meaning ''pear tree'' (''dardha'' in modern Albanian the definite form, ''dardhë'' indefinite form < PAlb *dardā〔Albanian Etymological Dictionary, V.Orel, Koninklijke Brill ,Leiden Boston Köln 1998, p.56〕), in view of the fact that toponyms related to fruits or animals are not unknown in the region (cf. Alb.''rush''-grapes < PAlb. râgusa, reflected in Illyrian ''Ragusa'', Greek ''Ραγούσα'', the ancient name of the city of Dubrovnik,〔Albanian Etymological Dictionary, V.Orel, Koninklijke Brill ,Leiden Boston Köln 1998, p.391〕 Alb. ''dele''/''delmë'' "sheep" supposedly related to Dalmatia, Ulcinj in Montenegro < Alb. ''ujk'', ''ulk'' "wolf" etc.). Opinions differ whether the ultimate etymon of this word in Proto-Indo-European was *''g'hord-'', or *''dheregh-''.〔Elsie, Robert (1998): "Dendronymica Albanica: A survey of Albanian tree and shrub names".
