Grilë

Grilë (Serbian: Гриљ) is a settlement in the former Gruemirë municipality, Shkodër County, northern Albania.

During the early 2010s linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli seeking to corroborate villages cited in past literature as being Slavic speaking carried out fieldwork in settlements of the area.

[3] Grilë in the Shkodër area is one of a number of villages with a Slavophone population that speak a Montenegrin dialect.

[4] An Albanian school exists in Grilë along with a newly built Orthodox church that is without a priest.

[4] According to Slavophone locals, the Orthodox population moved from Montenegro to Darragjat, due to blood feuds and later between 1935 and 1936, they relocated themselves to the Vraka area in places such as Grilë.
