Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of research on Germanism in the language of the most widely read newspapers in the Bosnian - speaking area of the Bosnian Krajina. These are the daily newspapers "Dnevni Avaz" and the weekly local newspapers "Krajina", "Moja Sana" and "Reprezent" (published between 2008 and 2020). The research was conducted on 8420 excerpted Germanisms. The main goal of this paper is to identify Germanisms, and to present their representation and distribution in regional newspapers. First, Germanisms were excerpted from the supraregional newspaper "Dnevni Avaz", which is the most widely read in Bosnian cities. Then the local newspapers of Bihać, Sanski Most and Velika Kladuša were taken into account. A separate corpus was compiled for each newspaper, which was then compared with other corpora in order to show the similarities and specifics of Germanism in different parts of the Bosnian Krajina. The result is a number of Germanisms specific to the Bosnian Krajina-speaking area.
