Hello!
When is Microsoft planning to add Montenegrin (Latin) and Montenegrin (Cyrillic) keyboard to Windows OS? Montenegrin language has been officially recognized as a separate language with its own ISO 639-3 code “cnr” with its variants "cnr_latn" and "cnr_cyrl" in 2018 and not a dialect within Serbian using code "sr_ME" that is outdated and not in accordance with Unicode but Windows still uses it. Serbian and Croatian fall short when trying to write in Montenegrin using Windows, for example Montenegrin has 32 letters, while they both have 30 letters, also not to mention the difference in grammatical rules and words that are considered incorrect in both of previously mentioned languages compared to Montenegrin. It's a hassle going between keyboards all the time and googling some of the letters to copy and paste them into texts you are writing since none of the keyboards Windows offer have them.
There have been a few discussions regarding this on this platform, but still this hasn't been resolved. So this raises the question, does Windows Open Specifications team even have plans to add this or is just ignoring us?
Hi @Armin ,
Thanks for submitting your questions. One of our engineers will follow up with you soon.

UPDATE: CLDR committee has some action items that are pending before Windows engineering can test and integrate the support.

The best way to raise this issue is to report it using the Feedback Hub app and then ask others to vote for the feedback.
Hello Armin, we are waiting for CLDR committee to complete the required tasks at their end so that we can integrate them in Windows.

Thank you for the response, do you have any approximate time as to when they are going to finish?
Hi Armin, it depends on CLDR timelines primarily. We do not know when they will complete their pending tasks.
