About the Re-standardization of the Montenegrin Language

Abstract

Its naming and the constitutional requirement to its codification and introduction into the Montenegrin educational system. The author concludes that the re-standardization of the Montenegrin language has been based on nationalist myths rather than on scientific facts. As as a norm, it has made a radical departure from the past and is thus difficult to apply and to accept. The Montenegrin language, standardized in this way, has become a source of new divisions in Montenegrin society and led to a serious crisis in the educational and political system.
