The Species Diversity of Slavic Aljamiado. The Example of the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: As a result of the conquest of the Balkan lands by the Ottoman Empire, numerous legal and administrative changes took place in these areas, the promotion of Islam among new subjects, and the transformation of many aspects of culture – from the spatial organization of cities to issues related to customs and education. In the Bosnian and Albanian literary tradition, contact with the Eastern civilization also contributed to the development of mainly Turkish- and Arabic-language literature, and then literature in the national language written in a modified Arabic alphabet. Among the Muslim Slavs from the western part of the Balkans, the flourishing of creativity classified today as aljamiado lasted from the mid-17th century to the end of the 19th century. Consistent with the Islamic worldview, literature includes both poetry and prose. Although it was largely determined by religion, it also concerned other issues, current for the community at that time.
