Summary/Abstract: Based on archival material and the processing of the indicated literature on language and education, this paper historiographically, analytically, and critically deals with the sociolinguistic aspects, and key issues regarding the status of the mother tongue and domestic schooling in the social order built during the Bosnian Vilayet. Education in the period of the Bosnian Vilayet is particularly important to study in the domain of the entire history of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the context of the opening of the Vilayet Printing House and the intensification of the Bosnian writing in general, and especially considering that at that time the Systemic Education Reform was carried out within Ottoman administration. Also, in the middle of the 19th century, during the Bosnian Vilayet, live processes of Serbian and Croatian nationalization appeared on Bosnian soil, which gave additional importance to the study of language and education from a sociolinguistic point of view.
