Wow. Messy pizza.
Gora is a native word. I think it means "high places".
Linguists have been trying to work out the language of the Gorani. It is not Serbian. It most closely resembles the Mijak Macedonian dialect i.e., the language of Georgi Kastriots mother, Vojslava. The region was ceded to Serbia i think in 1967? Someone might want to check that out.
The U.N mission in Kosovo doesn't recognise them as Macedonian, even though they self declare as Macedonians. The terminology used to describe them ranges from Torbesh to Serbian to Bosniak.
Their unequivical recognition as the traditional land holders of that region by the Kosovo parliament is a precondition for any kind of recognition.
