it is accepted that there is only one language. In some areas "thou"
still exists. In others colour is spelled color. What standisation
there is is often not goverment mandated.
--- in mayor cases Academies( or similar institutions) are working on
language standardisation. So that are working under Goverment policy on
educational and science level. Freedom in that filed is also regulated
on Goverment level, so in any case it is political meter. On that level
I was talking about.
Linguistics
rules are just political will on people language. If you
ignore this your opinion will not be righteous.
The oxford manual of style is not writen by the goverment.
Please check this page:

Part of text: This table gives the accepted spellings (following
*government *guidelines and major dictionaries).
I will repeat
my sentence:
- Wikipedia is multilingual and multicultural project.
As I sad, culture is connected with language, and culture is spread by
communication, beside other ways of communication language is primary one.
.When you read the article
about Montenegrin, the language on the English Wikipedia, it explains
quite clearly that elements that are to make Montegrin special can be
found outside of Montenegro as well.
Do you know what you talk about? Do you know who write those articles?
Do you know anything about specifics of Montenegrin dialect of south
slavenian languages?
Split of project is not our concern (As Montenegrin people are never
participated on this projects or they tried on marginal level), you know
well why is was divided on Balkan, but you stay quiet on this. Special
regarding Serbian. Wikipedia is used for spreading of nationalism
It shouldn't be
and
now when Montenegrin wish to have their own wikipedia on their own
language, it become problem.
Well yes because we are yet to establish that the language exists.
But under same rule WMF has given
AND yes it become POLITICAL problem for WMF
or one part of their members. I am aware that Serbian community is very
strong on WMF.
Not really. the WMF is based in the US the board is mostly from the US
and most significant non US chapter is prbably germany.
