Shkije
Shkije or Shkje, is a pejorative term used in the Gheg dialect of Albanian to refer to non-Albanians such as Serbs, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Greeks, Italians, and to a lesser extent Croats and Bosniaks. The Arvanites in Greece use the version "shkla" to refer to the Greek population, while the Arbereshe in Italy, a substantial part of which originates from the Arvanites, use the words "shklan" and "shklerisht" which mean "that does not speak Arbereshe", or "that speaks an incomprehensible language", referring to the Latin languages. It is derived from either from the Venetian "schiavone" meaning the same or  from the term "Slavs" (), which contained the traditional meaning of “the neighbouring foreigner”. It was widely used in the Albanian literature as well, i.e. "Lahuta e Malcís" (1937) of Gjergj Fishta (1871–1940). Sami Frasheri also used the term in his works. During the Yugoslav Wars, Albanian newspapers often called Serbs "Shkja". "Șchei" was also a word that Romanians used to name Slavs (Bulgarians).
