The assignment of the international code for the Montenegrin language by the Washington-based United Advisory Committee is one of the biggest events for the Montenegristics, so 11 December should be declared Montenegrin Language Day, the dean of the Montenegrin Language Faculty Adnan Cirgic told Dnevne Novine.
Montenegro has received the international code for the Montenegrin language under the ISO international standard. On Friday, we were informed that ISO 639 United Advisory Committee approved the request of the National Library of Montenegro. The code for the Montenegrin language will be CNR, and the name in English and French will be Montenegrin (the difference is only in the accent). In the original the language will be called Crnogorski in Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, said the Cetinje-based Djurdje Crnojevic national library director Bogic Rakocevic.
