That is undeniably true. To be precise, Montenegrin is Ijekavian Serbian
written with two additional letters, but that's all. Basically, Montenegrin
articles could easily be imported from the Serbian Wikipedia by means of a
bot.
It's like we already have separate Wikipedias in British English, American
English and Australian English, and now there should also be one in Irish
English.

It’s true. This language is as far as anyone knows
identical to Serbian
according to the classification we currently use. It is not certain that
there could be a Monenegrin Wiki that would differ in any meaningful way
from the Serbian one.

I was going to hold off on this until the holidays are over, but rather
remarkably, unless somebody hacked the Library of Congress's web site,
Montenegrin has been granted an ISO 639–2 code ("cnr"). This has been in
the air over the last month, and represents the first addition to ISO 639–2
in over five years. The Montenegrin community is jumping for joy, and I've
just full-protected the page Requests for new languages/Wikipedia
Montenegrin 5 on Meta because the discussion is getting out of hand.
If srwiki, hrwiki and bswiki didn't exist, we wouldn't have to create
this
one, either. But I have to admit that I don't really see any way we
can currently justify not approving this project (as "eligible"). My
questions are, therefore:
• Am I right about that?
• Is LangCom willing to see this project marked as "eligible"
based on an ISO 639-2 code alone?
• The rules are that non-collective ISO
639-2 codes are supposed
to be reflected in ISO 639-3 as well. So do I wait until
this code is
published by SIL?
• If so, what happens if SIL does not take
action?
