As a bystander here I am really, really confused
about
Zlatiborian!
I can explain a little bit of situation here.
For example, relation Moldovan-Romanian is almost the same as relation
Montenegrin-Serbian. Except Montenegrins don't have well described
standard such Moldovans have. Political situation is almost the same:
Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts says that it is the same
language as Serbia, but parliament and alternative academy (Duklanian
Academy) say that this is different language. Only 22% of Montenegrin
inhabitants say that their native language is Montenegrin (around 60%
say that their native language is Serbian; others are minorities). So,
this is a political question and I am supporting now the article
"Montenegrin language" on English Wikipedia (against one Serbian
nationalist) as well as I would support existance of Montenegrin
Wikipedia (if demand comes before we complete our software).
Linguistic area in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia is divided
into four dialects: Torlakian, Shtokavian, Chakavian and Kaykavian.
ALL standard languages (including "Zlatiborian", too) are based on the
part of Shtokavian dialect called Neo-Shtokavian.
The problem is that there is no Zlatiborian ethnicity/nation. All of
that people feel as Serbs, not as anything else. Zlatiborian is only
regional attribute.

So "Zlatiborian" is equivalent to "Londoner", "New Yorker",
or "Parisian"?
AND THEY WANT THEIR OWN WIKIPEDIA?????!?!!?
