Summary/Abstract: The words from Latin and Greek have different adaptations in our languages caused by different ways of their arrival to our region and by the languages that served as intermediaries between the donor language and the recipient language. In this paper, we consider the adaptation and use of these words in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian in the official gazettes in B&H.
