Mužlja (Serbian Cyrillic: Мужља) is a neighborhood of the Zrenjanin city in Serbia. Formerly, it had been a separate village that joined with Zrenjanin in 1981.

Name

In Serbian the neighborhood is known as Mužlja or Мужља, in Hungarian as Muzslya or Torontálmuzslya, and in German as Muschla.

Ethnic groups

In the 1971 census, the last census before the settlement was united with Zrenjanin, Mužlja had had a Hungarian ethnic majority. Today, the settlement is populated both by Serbs and Hungarians, but recently there has been no statistical data available about which of the two ethnic groups forms the ethnic majority in Mužlja (population of the neighborhood is listed together with the population of the entire city of Zrenjanin in recent statistical publications).
