Socialist Republic of Montenegro (Serbo-Croat: Socijalistička republika Crna Gora, Социјалистичка република Црна Гора) or SR Montenegro in short was the official name of Montenegro as a socialist state and constituent republic in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 7 July 1963 the People's Republic of Montenegro was renamed to "Socialist Republic of Montenegro" (ratified by both the federal Constitution and the newly created Montenegrin Constitution; both in 1963). It was a non-national free state with Serbo-Croatian as the official language, which was at the end replaced by "Serbian language of ijekavian dialect". In 1991 as the League of Communists in Montenegro changed its name to Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro after the first free elections, the adjective "Socialist" was deleted from the republic's title (ratified by the 1992 Constitution).
