Montenegrin Cyrillic alphabet

The Montenegrin Cyrillic alphabet (Montenegrin: црногорска ћирилица / crnogorska ćirilica) or Азбука is the modern alphabet officially proposed for Cyrillic writing of the Montenegrin language.

Its first version was originally developed by Vojislav P. Nikčević in the 1970s who was a dissident of then's Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and considered that Montenegrin speech is so unique that it deserves to be considered a separate language from the Serbo-Croatian.

The modern version was officially passed by the Ministry of Education pf Sreten Škuletić when it adopted in early 2009 the first Montenegrin Orthography (with the addition of the Orthographic Dictionary), replacing the Serbian Cyrillic script which was official until then. The act is a component part of the process of standardization of the Montenegrin language, starting in mid 2008 after adopting Montenegrin as the official language of Montenegro.
