THE SANDŽAK DICTIONARY: A FOUNDATION FOR THE STANDARDIZATION AND PRESERVATION OF THE BOSNIAN LANGUAGE IN SANDŽAK

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the significance of the Sandžak Dictionary as a lexicographic foundation for the standardization and preservation of the Bosnian language among Bosniaks in the Sandžak region. Particular attention is devoted to the sociolinguistic context of its creation, its lexicographic features and methodology, as well as the role this dictionary plays in defining and affirming the Bosnian language in Sandžak. In addition, the paper considers the contribution of the Sandžak Dictionary to the preservation of the cultural and linguistic identity of Bosniaks, as well as its potential application within educational systems. The research findings indicate the need for institutional recognition and greater inclusion of Sandžak lexical material in official dictionaries of the Bosnian language, as well as in curricula and educational programs in the Sandžak region.
