IDENTITET I „PREVREDNOVANjE” SRPSKE FILOLOGIJE U CRNOJ GORI

The paper analyses, from historical point of view, both spiritual and cultural heritage of Montenegro, i.e. language, alphabet, written monuments, compared to the way things stand in Montenegro today. The analysed documents have shown that the language used in Montenegro throughout history has always been named and considered as Serbian and that the alphabet used in official documents and press has always been Serbian cyrilic. Contrary to such a legacy, in the past two decades there have been attempts to replace the Serbian character of language and culture with the Montenegrin one.
