There are many problems with the name. In Albanian "Albanian Alps" or "Bjeshket e Nemuna". Slavic "Prokletije". I would be for "Cursed Mountains. 1. albania and Kosovo have most of the mountains. 2. prokletjie is simply a serbian name. 3. The name prokleije is very rarely used. 4. "Albanian Alps" is very frequently used AlexBachmann ( talk) 16:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
If Albania and Kosovo have the most of the mountains then why is the name in english? RoyalHeritageAlb ( talk) 23:16, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to the original suggestion. I could foresee this page shuffling around a bit more over the years, but consensus at this time is for Accursed Mountains (which, let's be real, is the coolest-sounding option) as the English-language name in common use that doesn't step into any ethnic disputes. Or, well, fewer of them, anyway. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Vaticidal prophet 15:47, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Prokletije →
Accursed Mountains – Article should be renamed to the more internationally accepted version "Accursed Mountains" as evidenced in these articles by
Lonely Planet,
BBC,
Euronews,
Financial Times. Prokletije is a serbian version of a mountain range mostly located in Albanian populated regions.

Montenegrin language is an indipendent language due to standartisation of the language RoyalHeritageAlb ( talk) 17:46, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Then change the info at the article of montenegro too from montenegrin to serbo-croatian RoyalHeritageAlb ( talk) 11:41, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
These are Albanian Alps (Albanide) that are also known as Acursed Mountains. Their name is Albanian Alps (Albanide), and locals or other ethnicities choose other names for them. In fact for others they are considered to be the opposite; they are considered as Blessed Mountains. Whatever emotional attachments people might have at the end these are called Albanian Alps (Albanide). 69.166.116.149 ( talk) 14:49, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Please consider having the name changed. These are Albanian Alps(Albanide) also knwon an Acursed Mountains. Emotional attachments should not affect the name of geographical locations that have an existance of thousdand of years. This is absurd! 69.166.116.149 ( talk) 15:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
