Czy czarnogórskie i polskie fonemy /ś/ i /ź/ są tej samej proweniencji (w odniesieniu do koncepcji czarnogórskiego onomasty i językoznawcy Radoslava Rotkovicia o pochodzeniu przodków Czarnogórców)?
Do the Montenegrin and Polish phonemes /ś/ and /ź/ have the same provenance (with reference to the concept of the Montenegrin onomastist and linguist Radoslav Rotković about the origin of the ancestors of Montenegrins)?

Summary/Abstract: The analysis is an attempt to compare the genetic development of the spirants [ś] and [ź] in Polish and Montenegrin, and is a kind of Polish response to the theses put forward by the Montenegrin researcher Radoslav Rotković and later developed by the Montenegrinist Vojislav Nikčević regarding the common origin of these sounds in both languages. In view of the problem posed, the starting point is to present the theses put forward by Rotković in the monograph Odakle su došli preci Crnogoraca [“Where did the ancestors of Montenegrins come from”] and the evidence in support of them, as well as their linguistic development by Nikčević. Then, their reception by the Montenegrin and Polish Slavic community is analysed in order to compare the genesis of the Polish and Montenegrin spirants [ś] and [ź] in the light of previous accepted research and its results. This comparison speaks against the thesis put forward by Rotković, as it indicates different paths of the appearance of the spirants [ś] and [ź] in the Montenegrin and Polish languages.
