Hi! I just want to ask who all is familiar with the Montenegrin language. It's a
language I've been wanting to learn, but I'm having issues finding good and reliable resources. So if you have any tips, just let me know. :) Thank you! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, there are some minor differences in forms of the words and some extremely rare examples of different words but that's all I think...

See this thread. The short answer is that there still doesn't seem to be an accepted Montenegrin standard which leads to difficulty in establishing textbooks teaching some unambiguous norm and resulting difficulty in finding anything useful to learn "Montenegrin". If you're keen on learning "Montenegrin", I would suggest that in addition to the previous suggestions, you learn the Ijekavian form of the Serbian variant (or in a pinch just learn "Bosnian", "Croatian" or "Serbo-Croatian"), overuse the ijekavianisms (even if many Montenegrins don't speak or write in such a way) and "spice up" your lexicon with with the occasional word from Petrović-Njegoš' work "The Mountain Wreath". 1 person has voted this message useful |
