Montenegrin dialects have long been treated as part of the Serbian
or Serbo-Croatian language in traditionalist dialectology. Even
though they are among the best studied dialects of Slavic
languages, this is the first monograph offering a synthesis of
Montenegrin dialects. In Adnan Čirgić’s Dialectology of the
Montenegrin Language, Čirgić addresses them as a compact unit,
mostly corresponding to Montenegrin state borders, with isoglosses
that cross those borders– as it tends to occur with dialects in
general. Čirgić brings a different approach to classification of
Montenegrin dialects, free from ideological shackles imposed by
unitarian language policy in former Yugoslav federation, which
included Montenegro as one of its constituent members. In addition
to the classification of Montenegrin dialects and a summary
overview of features of individual dialects and speech groups, this
book also brings a comprehensive overview of the history of
studying of those dialects since the 19th century, along with an
exhaustive dialectological bibliography of Montenegro.
