Summary/Abstract: Examining morphological features of verb forms in the documents of the Montenegrin Senate, as these provide evidence not only of the formal written register of the public administration, but also of wide-spread written conventions in Montenegro during the 1860ies and 1870ies, this paper has placed a special emphasis on the form of the Present Tense. The analysis has confirmed certain dialectological modifications in inflections, as well as variability in the relation present – verb type. The situation indicated by the documents has been examined in relation to the Montenegrin speech forms and the literary texts of that period, as well as to the contemporary literary standard.
