Berziti
The Berziti (Bulgarian, Macedonian and ; ) were a South Slavic tribe that settled in Byzantine Macedonia in late 6th century AD with the Slavic invasion of the Balkans. The Berziti settled in the vicinity of Lychnidos (Ohrid). One part of the same tribe settled in Brest, Belarus, while another, moved south into the Balkans.

Drougoubitai
The Drougoubitai, also Drogobitai or Dragobitai (), variously anglicized as Drugubites, Drogubites, Druguvites, Draguvites etc., were a South Slavic group (Sclaveni) who settled in the Balkans in the 7th century. Two distinct branches are mentioned in the sources, one living in medieval Macedonia to the north and east of Thessalonica and around Veroia (in modern Greece).
Sagudates
The Sagudates (, Sagoudatai) were a South Slavic tribe that lived in the region of Macedonia, in the area between Thessaloniki and Veria.
Baiounitai
The Baiounitai () or Vayunites (, , ) were a Sclavene (South Slavic) tribe which settled the region of Macedonia at the end of 6th century. The Baiounitai initially settled in the region west of Thessalonica. They belonged to a group of Slavic tribes that unsuccessfully tried to capture the city at the beginning of the 7th century, after which they are believed to have migrated to the northern part of the region of Epirus, between Ioannina in Greece and Himarë in Albania.
Strumiani
Strymonites or Strymonian Slavs ( / Strymonitai) were a tribe of Sclaveni (Early Slavs) who settled in the region of the river Strymon (Struma) in eastern parts of the historical region of Macedonia.
Smolyani
The Smolyani (; in Byzantine sources Smolenoi or Smoleanoi) were a medieval Slavic tribe that settled in the Rhodope Mountains, the valley of the Mesta River and the region around Blagoevgrad Province, possibly in the 7th–8th century. The tribe revolted against the Byzantine authorities of Constantinople in 837 and were supported by Bulgarian ruler Presian, who, together with his deputy Kavhan Isbul, crossed the lands of the Smolyani and conquered the territory as far south as Philippi, including most of Macedonia. Their name etymologically derives from the Proto-Slavic word *smola ('resin'),
Rynchines
The Rhynchines, Richenoi or Rhynchinoi () were a South Slavic (Sklavenoi) tribe in the region of southern Macedonia in the 7th century. According to Traian Stoianovich, they were Slavic or Avaro-Slavic. The Rhynchinoi settled along the river Rhechinos (or Rhechios) between lake Bolbe and the Strymonic Gulf.
