I don't understand you very well here. Many language (mostly 
European)are having nation marks (English, French, German, Russian, 
Albanina, Greek, Italian, ....) so their process of building language is 
trough nation history. Same thing is with south Slavic language. It is 
not reference to country - more region in which people talk similar. 
History of south Slavic people ( Europe) is quite dense in political and 
demographic change, So many parts of South Slavs are developed 
differently try many centuries and that was also reflected on language. 
So here we have situation that all Balkan nations have their own 
languages and their wikipedias. I don't see how this same rule should be 
different for Montenegro. I will not mention that wikipedia is also 
possible for some artificial languages and don't have very harsh and 
strict rules regarding this. But in Montenegrin case it seems that 
people wish to close eyes. Why?
