Best Answer

Montenegrin language is the mother tongue of the Montenegrins and the linguistic system that is professionally called "Central South Slavic diasystem" - Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin.

Since the adoption of the Constitution of Montenegro in October 2007. Montenegrin is the official language. Article 13. of Montenegrin Constitution specifies that the official language in Montenegro is Montenegrin language, and the Cyrillic and Latin script have equal status.

The term Montenegrin language was first used by French author, Colonel de Vialle Sommieres in his travelogue of the 1813th "Voyage historique et politique in Montenegro", which is published as a book in two volumes 1820th year.

The Montenegrin language has its peculiarities and differences from Serbian, not only in some words and accentuation, but also in grammar, spelling and phonetics.

Where you can learn Montenegrin?

Montenegrin is not commonly learnt as a foreign language, so there are not many books on the subject. and Montenegrin is not officially a language, and, like Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian, is classed as a sub-dialect of the Serbo-Croat language. All of these four dialects are mutually intelligible, and a Montenegrin speaking to a Serb would be rather like a French-speaking Belgian speaking to a Frenchman, or an Englishman to a Scot. Personally, I would learn Serbo-Croat, as it would enable you to speak in four countries instead of one, and I would use 'Teach Yourself Serbo-Croat(ian).
