Naziv jezika u salnamama: Sistemska reforma obrazovnog sistema i službena nominacija jezika u Bosni
LANGUAGE IN SALNAMAS: A SYSTEMATIC REFORM OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND THE OFFICIAL NOMINATION OF LANGUAGE IN BOSNIA

Summary/Abstract: Following Tanzimat reforms, there are systematic reforms of the Bosnian education system. At the time of Topal Osman-pasha, viz. the time when the first printing press was opened in Bosnia, more attention is being paid to the official language nomination, its standardization and codification, in terms of both orthography and literary expression. The name of the language used in official gazettes of the Bosnian Vilayet and other press in Bosnia in the period from 1866-1878 was clear- ‘bosanski jezik’ (‘Bosnian language’), the language of official gazettes. Another term that was used occasionally was ‘bošnjački jezik’ (the Bosniak language), or ‘srpski jezik’ (the Serbian language), occasionally found in idiolects or Christian schools. Not counting the non-Muslim schools, if one observes the official data of the Vilayet administration in Bosnia from 1867-1878, in the last ten or so years, immediately before the Austro-Hungarian occupation, in state schools, at least 280.000 primary and high school pupils attended classes in the Bosnian language. The ‘hrvatski jezik’ (‘Croatian language’) nomination could be found in certain textbooks from Slavonia and Croatia and was rarely used in the Franciscian classrooms by the end of the Ottoman rule in Bosnia. The term ‘bosanski jezik’ (the Bosnian language), according to official data and documents, was used rather often among the non-Muslim population, and the term represented the regional mark of the language that had a long history of usage in all the regions of Bosnia.
