The Montenegrin Language
- Montenegrin is natively known as Crnogorski and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, South Slavic, Western South Slavic language family.
- There are approximately 230,000 native speakers worldwide.
- Montenegrin was officially designated as the national language of Montenegro following independence in 2006, though it is closely related to Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian.
- The Montenegrin alphabet includes two letters not found in Serbian: \xc5\x9a/\xc5\x9b and \xc5\xb9/\xc5\xba (soft s and soft z), though their use is not universal.
- Both Latin and Cyrillic scripts are officially used in Montenegro, with Latin script increasingly dominant in everyday use, particularly among younger generations.
- Montenegrin, Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian are mutually intelligible and are sometimes collectively referred to as "BCS" or "BCMS" by linguists.
- Montenegro's name means "Black Mountain" in Venetian/Italian, and the Montenegrin equivalent is "Crna Gora."
- The Montenegrin community in Australia is small and largely overlaps with the broader Serbian and former Yugoslav communities. Montenegrins often identify within the wider Serbian Orthodox or South Slavic community networks. Communities are found in Melbourne and Sydney, where Yugoslav-era migration brought people from various republics of the former federation.
About Fortitude Valley
Fortitude Valley (also known simply as "The Valley") is a suburb of central Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. The suburb lies immediately northeast of the Brisbane central business district, and is one of the hubs of Brisbane's nightlife, renowned for its Nightclubs, bars and adult entertainment. At the 2011 Australian Census Fortitude Valley recorded a population of 5,615.
In the 1950s, the suburb was the largest shopping precinct outside of a central business district in Australia. Scottish immigrants from the ship SS Fortitude arrived in Brisbane in 1849, enticed by Rev Dr John Dunmore Lang on the promise of free land grants. Denied land, the immigrants set up camp in Bowen Hills. A number of the immigrants moved on and settled the suburb, naming it after the ship on which they arrived. A post office was established in 1887.
1891 saw the train line extended from the Brisbane central business district into Fortitude Valley, and Thomas Beirne opened a business on Brunswick Street. His business thrived and, after extension, he travelled to England in 1896, leaving his manager of two years, James McWhirter, in charge. Soon after his return, McWhirter established a competing drapery business opposite Beirne's in 1898. Beirne and McWhirter became keen rivals and are credited with establishing the Valley as a hub of commerce from the late 1890s.
