Crnogorci

Crnogorci, also known as Montenegrins, are a South Slavic ethnic group native to Montenegro, a country on the Balkan Peninsula. They speak Montenegrin, a standard form of the Serbo-Croatian language, and are predominantly Eastern Orthodox Christians. The term "Crnogorci" translates to "Black Mountain," referring to the historical region of Crna Gora, which is now the country of Montenegro.

The Montenegrins have a rich cultural heritage, with traditions that have been influenced by their geographical location and historical events. Their cuisine is known for its use of fresh, local ingredients, and they have a strong tradition of hospitality. Montenegrin folklore includes epic poems, songs, and dances that reflect their history and way of life.

Montenegrins have a history of independence and resistance, with notable figures such as Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, who was the last independent ruler of Montenegro before it became a part of the Kingdom of Serbia in 1918. After World War II, Montenegro became a part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and it gained independence again in 2006.

Today, Montenegrins are known for their resilience and strong sense of national identity. They continue to preserve their cultural heritage while adapting to modern life. The Montenegrin people are an integral part of the broader South Slavic community, sharing cultural and linguistic ties with their neighbors in Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
