Language

Montenegrin language is offical language in Montenegro. It has it own standard and awaits to apply for the ISO code. All the state documents are written in Montenegrin language, all web sites in Montenegro state Montenegrin as language. If someon don't like the idea of Montenegrin language, then that's his problem. It's offical and that's fact. I hope you understand that we must stop those articles from vandals. 88.207.51.221 (talk) 21:29, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Why am I the only one honored by your warning. Shouldn't 88.207.51.221 get one? He's the one who started reverting my changes. "Montenegrin" is not a standardized language, there is no regulation body, it does not have an ISO code and the only identifier, ISO 639, defines it as an alternate name for Serbian. Just because the Montenegrin government has recognized this language, doesn't mean Wikipedia can. Imagine if the Toronto municipal government recognized Torontonean as a language, what, would all Toronto-related articles be described in Torontonean and not English, which is exactly the same (just like Montenegrin = Serbian language). For example, the Croatian language, despite being similar to Serbian, is recognized in the world and I fully support all Croatia-related articles to have a translation in Croatian - it just makes sense. However, I'm sorry, until the Montenegrin language is world-wide recognized, it can not be officially used for Montenegro-related articles on Wikipedia. I suggest you revert 88.207.51.221's changes and warn him on his talk page. Regards, --Cinéma C 15:22, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
