Summary/Abstract: In last few years, two new orthography books appeared in the Bosnian language, namely Senahid Halilovic's 2017 Orthography of Bosnian language and Refik Bulić's 2023 Bosnian Orthography. This paper is aimed at excerpting examples from these two orthography books with the aim of their analysis and comparison in order to determine the standardization status of the segment of composed and disassembled word writing in contemporary Bosnian language. The aim is to investigate the paths of standardization of this orthography phenomenon in the last orthography books of the standard Bosnian language, and to determine whether there are any significant differences in them that can lead to different use practices in everyday written communication.
