Summary/Abstract: The author points out that the vowel system that can be found in the letters of officer Radonjic is quite similar to one that used by our contemporary writers in the modern literature. The semi-vowels don’t have the same feature and all the forms of the voice jat with the significant domination of the jekavian reflex.The author has concluded that is a significant discrepancy of the Radonjic's writings in terms of writing the iekavien and ekavien reflex jat which was marked by the grapheme e as well as many other ortographie features related to them.
