About Montenegrin
Montenegrin belongs to the South Slavic branch of the Indo-European language family and is spoken mainly in Montenegro, with related communities in neighboring parts of the western Balkans and in the diaspora. It is mutually intelligible with Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian, and is used as an official language of Montenegro. Montenegrin is written in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, with Latin especially common in public and digital use.
A distinctive feature of the modern standard is the recognition of the letters ś and ź for sounds found in some Montenegrin speech, alongside the broader grammar shared with neighboring Serbo-Croatian standards. Montenegrin literary culture is closely tied to the history of Montenegro, including the works of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, whose 19th-century poetry remains central to the country’s cultural canon.
