Editing Montenegro (section)

== Population and culture ==
At the 2023 census, Montenegrins accounted for 41.12 per cent of the population, Serbs for 32.93 per cent, Bosniaks for 9.45 per cent, and Albanians for 4.97 per cent. Croats, Roma, Russians, and other communities also live in the country.

Montenegrin is the official language, and the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets have equal constitutional status. Serbian, Bosnian, Albanian, and Croatian are also in official use. Orthodox Christianity is the largest religious tradition, alongside Muslim and Roman Catholic communities.

Cultural traditions differ between the Adriatic coast, the old royal centre at Cetinje, the central valleys, and the northern highlands. Kotor, Cetinje, Podgorica, and Nikšić contain major museums, archives, theatres, religious institutions, and educational centres. The [[University of Montenegro]] is the principal public university. Football, basketball, handball, and water polo are among the most widely followed sports.
