But in 2017, the Montenegrins scored linguistic gold with the International Organization of Standardization&#8217;s identification of Montenegrin, as a separate language from Serbian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-new-montenegro-language\">A &#8216;new&#8217; Montenegro language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, more Montenegrins admit to speaking Serbian than the newly recognised language. What&#8217;s more, there is still some debate as to whether the Montenegro language is, in fact, a different language at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, the Montenegrins have tried to distance themselves linguistically from Serbian by adding two letters to their alphabet and making more use of the Latin alphabet in text, than of Cyrillic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, linguists insist that the two languages are mutually intelligible. And in fact, that Montenegrin, Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian are basically the same Balkan beat. Handy for travellers. Not nearly as pleasing to the Montenegrin nationalists who are insistent on asserting the Montenegro language as its own idiom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no confusion that Montenegrin is the Balkan state&#8217;s official language. However, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian and Albanian all remain languages in official use in Montenegro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/montenegro-vacation-affordable-french-riviera\/\"><em>A Montenegro vacation is the new (and more affordable) French Riviera<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-popular-montenegrin-phrases-for-your-next-visit\">Popular Montenegrin phrases for your next visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/09\/young-people-at-lunch-in-outdoor-cafe-REM2PG7-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Good conversation - Montenegro language\" class=\"wp-image-18504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/young-people-at-lunch-in-outdoor-cafe-REM2PG7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/young-people-at-lunch-in-outdoor-cafe-REM2PG7-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/young-people-at-lunch-in-outdoor-cafe-REM2PG7.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to channel your inner Montenegrin? We&#8217;ve done the homework for you and selected our choice Montenegrin phrases to make your Baltic break extra special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-hello-goodbye-and-good-morning-in-montenegrin\"><strong>1. Hello, goodbye and good morning in Montenegrin <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Say &#8216;hello&#8217; to Montenegro with a rousing <em>zdravo, <\/em>pronounced &#8216;<strong>zdrah<\/strong>-voh&#8217; \u2013 the emphasis is on the first part of the word. Feeling more formal? Greet your counterpart with <em>dobro jutro <\/em>(&#8216;dob-ro yoo-tro&#8217;), &#8216;good morning&#8217; in Montenegrin. Use<em> dobar dan <\/em>(&#8216;dob-ar-dun&#8217;) in the afternoon and <em>dobro ve\u010de <\/em>(&#8216;dob-ro ve-che&#8217;) in the evening. To say goodbye, say<em> dovi\u0111enja <\/em>(&#8216;doh-vee-dje-nyah&#8217;). True to their Mediterranean roots, a friendly<em> \u0106ao! <\/em>(pronounced the same as in the Italian <em>ciao<\/em>) will do just as well for both &#8216;hi&#8217; and &#8216;bye&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-please-and-thank-you\"><strong>2. Please and thank you<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll go far in life with a little &#8216;please&#8217; and &#8216;thank you&#8217;. So, brush up on the Montenegrin equivalents of both before your trip. Say <em>molim <\/em>(&#8216;mo-leem&#8217;) for &#8216;please&#8217; and <em>hvala <\/em>(&#8216;<strong>hvah<\/strong>-lah&#8217;) for thank you \u2013 the emphasis on the first syllable in <em>hvala <\/em>which rhymes with koala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-yes-or-no\"><strong>3. Yes or no<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These two Montenegrin words are going to be a doddle to remember. For &#8216;yes&#8217;, say <em>da, <\/em>for &#8216;no&#8217;, say <em>ne. <\/em>We&#8217;re so confident you&#8217;re going to master these swiftly, we&#8217;ll throw in a third word for good measure \u2013 <em>dobro <\/em>(pronounced &#8216;doh-broh&#8217;) means good, for when you really want to emphasise your approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-do-you-speak-english\"><strong>4. Do you speak English?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>English is not a widely spoken Montenegro language. They probably have their hands full juggling all those Balkan languages of which we spoke earlier. That said, however, you will find locals who do speak English in tourist centres. Always ask <em>da li pri\u010date Engleski?<\/em> (&#8216;<strong>dah<\/strong>-lee <strong>pree<\/strong>-cha-the lee <strong>En<\/strong>-gles-kee?&#8217;) to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-5-where-is\">&nbsp;<strong>5.

This handy Montenegrin phrase will ensure you won&#8217;t be thirsty for long. To order something in a restaurant, you can say <em>mogu da dobim\u2026 <\/em>(&#8216;<strong>moh<\/strong>-goo da <strong>doh<\/strong>-beem&#8217;) and point to it on the menu or mention it by name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-i-have-an-allergy-to\"><strong>8. I have an allergy to\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps more importantly, your ability to communicate an allergy may literally save your life.&nbsp; You should say <em>ja sam alergi\u010dan na\u2026 <\/em>(yah sahm ah-lehr-gee-chahn nah) before the allergy, e.g. <em>ja sam alergi\u010dan na kikiriki <\/em>(&#8216;I am allergic to peanuts&#8217;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-the-bill-or-check\"><strong>9. The bill or check<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After your tasty meal, you could stretch your Montenegrin by asking for the <em>ra\u010dun <\/em>(<strong>rah<\/strong>-choon). Throw in a <em>molim <\/em>(&#8216;please) thereafter and you&#8217;ll have a polite way to ask for the bill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-cheers\"><strong>10.
