Croatian vs Montenegrin
Croatian (Croatian) and Montenegrin (Montenegrin) are two of the four national standards of the Štokavian South Slavic language commonly referred to as BCMS (Bosnian–Croatian–Montenegrin–Serbian). Everyday speech is largely mutually intelligible; the standards differ in orthography, lexical preferences, and official status.
Crnogorski
The most recently codified BCMS national standard, declared official in Montenegro in 2007. Distinguished from Serbian by the recognition of two additional Montenegrin-specific letters and a number of lexical preferences.
