Absolutely we do not have to do this.

Let me rephrase this: People will likely raise questions about it, and it would be nice if we had a good reply.

There is no dependency between them. None. And Western Armenian is HUGELY different from Eastern Armenian. Please study the attached which was part of our proposal for the language code.

I am nowhere near being an expert in Armenian languages. Knowing Russian doesn't make me an expert in South Slavic languages either, which is why I try to be careful and reserved in my judgment about Montenegrin.

The document about Armenian that Michael attached seems convincing to me. If a similar document is provided about Montenegrin, we may consider approving it. I couldn't find anything nearly as convincing in the long discussions about Montenegrin.

So I'm not disagreeing about the substance, but I am saying that there may be more discussions in this area.
