With the breakup of Yugoslavia and during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), the modern standardization of the Bosnian language began.
Some features of the Bosnian standard language are the frequent use loan words from Turkish and Arabic and the preservation of the phonemes /h/ and /f/ in a certain number of words as a reflection of the unique attributes of local speech.
The Bosnian language, along with Serbian and Croatian, is one of the three official languages in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Versus Translation Agency provides translation and localization services from / into Bosnian.
The Bosnian language is the national language of the Bosniaks, spoken by slightly more than 2 million people, mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro, and also by diaspora in Western Europe, North America, and Turkey. The standard Bosnian language in Bosnia and Herzegovina dominated the media at the end of the 20th century. Bosnian has a long tradition as a dialect in the territory of B&H in the former Yugoslavia, which was different from the standards of Zagreb and Belgrade.
Due to political circumstances it became a standard language in relatively recent years. It is very similar to Croatian and Serbian, with certain phonetic, lexical, and stylistic peculiarities. Therefore, Bosnian language today used to be a variant of Serbo-Croatian. In this sense, Bosnian had its own tradition even before the breakup of Serbo-Croatian, and has now become its own standard language. The Bosnian language has been developing and evolving, but it still remains quite similar to the languages of the region.
