FYI:

The ISO 639-RA/JAC is processing a request from the National Library of Montenegro to encode “Montenegrin” in ISO 639-2. This has been requested before, but on previous occasions there wasn’t much support for it. This time, though, the level of interest appears to be on the rise. It’s not clear to me how the changing sentiment much is influenced by


(i)                  Perception that this really is a distinct language.

(ii)                Feeling that it’s no more or less a distinct language than Serbian vs. Croatian vs. Bosnian, and that it’s not appropriate to bias against this one.

(iii)               Feeling tired of the issue and assuming there’s no real harm to encoding, so we’ll be better off putting this behind us.
