Montenegro is home to Mount Lovćen, a part of the Dinaric Alps mountain range, which is covered with so many pine trees and greenery it almost looks black. This mountain is the reason behind the country’s name – the black mountain. Other than the famous mountain, this Balkan country is also known as the home of the Tara River Canyon, which is the deepest one in Europe.
Montenegro’s population of a little over 600,000 speaks Montenegrin. However, just like in many other European countries, you’re sure to stumble upon people who speak the languages of the bordering countries as well.
