Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper was to present the accent of the pronouns in the speech of Donji Kamičak, according to the accent typology and description of the accent in the standard Bosnian language, and to compare it with the researched accent forms of the pronouns in standard language practice. Donji Kamičak is a Bosniak village located in the valley of the Sana River (between the towns Sanski Most and Ključ). According to the classification of Bosnian-Herzegovinian dialects, the speech of this place belongs to the West Bosnian (Ikavian-Šćakavian) dialect, i.e. the Central Bosnian subdialect, which by its basic characteristics belongs to the Neo-Shtokavian dialects. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that in the speech of Donji Kamičak, the same accented types of pronouns are distinguished as in the standard language, with a partially different distribution of individual pronouns within the two basic types (changeable and unchangeable). Also, in the speech of Donji Kamičak, there was a predominance of adjectival change, i.e. longer suffixes in genitive, dative and locative case of masculine and neuter singular of adjectival pronouns, which compared to shorter forms, according to recent research, are significantly more represented in standard linguistic practice; in certain forms of pronouns, the secondary length appears, i.e. post-accent length that is not a feature of the standard language; in addition to the standard one, a non-standard transfer of the accent to the proclitic was also recorded.
