I think it would be a good idea to look more into this, preferably by asking linguists
specializing in this language/these languages for their opinion. Having an ISO code is not
a guarantee one way or another that they are separate languages and there are plenty of
languages bundled under a single ISO code.

Subject: [Langcom] Re: Montenegrin - ineligible?
Thanks for bringing it up, Amir. I promised a user a while
back<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jon_Harald_S%C3%B8by#Mont…
to bring up the Montenegrin issue again, but I haven't done anything about it yet.
The last proper discussion we had about Montenegrin in this list was in this
thread<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/langcom@lists.wikimed…
from March 2018 (+ this
reply<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/langcom@lists.wikimedi…
from Steven). Since then the language committee's composition has changed a bit, but I
don't know if the situation wrt. Montenegrin recognition has changed – back then, the
ISO 639-2 code for Montenegrin was quite new. But it could be good to hear some more
opinions from within the committee before it's marked as ineligible again.

Hi,
There's this old, contentious discussion:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Monten…
I somehow thought that it's already marked as ineligible, but it isn't. I'd
say that it should be marked as such. I've allowed localization in that language on
translatewiki, similarly to en-gb, de-ch, etc., but it doesn't seem distinct enough
for a whole Wikipedia.
Does anyone disagree? If not, I'll be bold and mark it as ineligible in a week.
