The Sanjak of Montenegro (Montenegrin and {{lang-sr-cyr|Санџак Црне Горе|Sandžak Crne Gore}}; {{langx|tr|Karadağ Sancağı}}, literally Sanjak of the Black Mountain){{cite book| author = Johann Georg Kohl| title = Reise nach Istrien, Dalmatien und Montenegro| url = https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_-GzRAAAAMAAJ| year = 1851| publisher = Arnold| page = [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_-GzRAAAAMAAJ/page/n373 334] }}{{quote|Die Türken nennen Montenegro „Kara Dag", was auchso viel als „Schwarzberg" oder „Schwarzwald" heißt.}} was a province (sanjak) of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula roughly corresponding to modern Montenegro. It was created in 1514 from the borders of the former Zeta, ruled by the Crnojevići, which had earlier been organized into the Sanjak of Scutari in 1499.
History
The greater part of the Zetan principality lost its status as an independent state, becoming a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, until it was added to the Ottoman administrative unit of Sanjak of Scutari in 1499. In 1514 this territory was separated from the Sanjak of Scutari and established as a separate Sanjak of Montenegro, under the rule of Skenderbeg Crnojević.{{cite book|last=Ćorović|first=Vladimir|title=Istorija Jugoslavije|author-link=Vladimir Ćorović|year=1933|publisher=Narodno Delo|location=Beograd|url=http://sr.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%98%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%D0%88%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B5_(%D0%92._%D0%8B%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%9B)_3.11|access-date=27 April 2011|language=sr|quote=Год. 1499. припојена је била Црна Гора скадарском санџакату.
