What linguistic evidence? I am asking you all this time to give such
evidence. What are the rules on WMF about this?
Is it the evidence that 200.000 people talk Montenegrin language?
And I am not talking about countries I am talking about nation marks
(Country don't always mean nation). I dont see that we follow each other
up on this. You seems talk about something else.
