    It's not "Montenegrian", it's Montenegrinian. That, and, of course Montenegrin is correct.

    on ur id should state nationality: mne... and the correct one is Montenegrin, 100% sure.
    Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified.


    Katjon vazda :)

    Correct taxonomy:

    Name of the country: Montenegro
    Pronunciation, as prescribed by English pronunciation dictionaries:
    1. Preferred: /mɒntəˈnigroʊ/
    2. Possible, though some claim it is not that 'native' -ˈ/mɒntəˈnɛgroʊ/


    Adjective:
    Montenegrin - crnogorski/ska/sko
    National:
    Montenegrin(s) - Crnogorac (Crnogorci)

    And that's it

    Double negative.

    Ispravno je "nobody knows".

    No, it's the other way around. I cringe every time someone says /mɒntəˈnigroʊ/.


    Pay attention to the first few sentences:




    Protip: Just because Americans like it doesn't mean it's not fundamentally wrong.
