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 Paddington
Paddington is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 2 km west of the Brisbane CBD. As is common with other suburbs in the area, Paddington is located on a number of steep ridges and hills. It was originally settled in the 1860s. Many original and distinctive Queenslander homes can be found in the suburb. Houses are frequently built on stumps, owing to the steep nature of their blocks. In recent years, Paddington has become a very desirable residential location. Between 2005 and 2010, the median house price has risen over 50% to $1,000,000. Paddington lies in a valley in the foothills of Mount Coot-tha The area is extremely hilly with many peaks and gullies.
Most of the retail is located along the ridgetops which contain the main roads of Caxton Street, Given Terrace and Latrobe Terrace. Proceeding north west (outbound) along Caxton Street there is a gentle downward slope on either side until Given Terrace is reached, colloquially referred to as "lower Paddington".
