A clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor.
Often, the distinguishing factor is that a clan is a smaller part of a larger society such as a tribe, a chiefdom, or a state.

 Serb clans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A modern version of the clan system has survived to this day mostly in present-day Montenegro (including both Old Montenegro, Herzegovina, the Highlands, Boka and the Coastland), where familial lineages are often held in predominance over random mate choosing and familial societies run towns and counties.
The first are made up of several groups of non-related smaller clans (made up of several families or bratstva).
Lineage clans are dispersed throughout several non-adjacent regions and make up for an over-extended family which traces its roots to one male ancestor and does not intermarry considering each member of the extended family as a relative.
