seeming anomaly of a collection of consonants. The language is spoken
exactly as it is written, as for instance Italian, but the consonants
s, c, and z vary according to their accents.

"s" is our sharp s; but with inverted circumflex

"c" is pronounced "tz": thus Cetinje is spoken Tzetinje; Podgorica as
Podgoritza.

"ć" and "č" are accentuated "tsch": as Petrović, Petrovitsch; Morača,
Moratcha.

"z" is soft, as "s" in "rose."

"ž" is sounded like the French "j" in "journal."

"dž" is sounded like the "j" in "James."

"nj" is sounded like the "gn" in French "campagne": Tzetigné
(Cetinje), and so on.
