mainly in English or Multilingual as France, Italian Russian, etc... In 99% there is no any of similar languages. That is not a wonder as Montenegro is very small market. beside English I can use Croat, Bosnian as even as Serbian. That is case as I was born in country (SFR Yugoslavia) where we all learned unified language.
Then why not continue to use it?
Because it those not exist any more.
... You need to find alibi to clear your self for not doing what you should? Or at least to ask for some facts that will show more clearly this topic. Instead you jump into conclusion. It is easier i know. But you denied my identity and identity of my people,Denied our own language forcing-suggesting to use language of different people.
According to your government the language of Montenegro is Serbian of the Ijekavian dialect. The Declaration of Montenegrin PEN Center doesn't claim it as anything more than a dialect.
According to the constitution (your source ) Montenegro is part of SR Yugoslavia. Do you claim that also? Please read draft for new constitution.
You talked all time about politics. And now lets talk about politics I know who I am and I know in which language I talk and you constantly deny that. How should I feel about this?
You should consider the possibility of transferring your understandable national pride to other things.
You could consider to stop telling me that language in which I talk don't exist.
You in this way support pro Miloshevic and national-chauvinism politic from Belgrade which denied natural right to have his own identity to anyone from former Yugoslavia.
Miloshevic is dead.
But not his politic which is sad.
It is ok by me I understand that you have some private business that you need to spare more time but please don't justify your self by using this kind of discussion(tv manuals, companies that don't use Montenegrin to translate,OS ...)as this case affect one (half million) people and one language.
No at most 22% of your country describes the language they speak as Montenegrin. That would be a little over 140K people.
So you admit that Montenegrin language exist? I don't follow you here?
