Summary/Abstract: This work is a small contribution for studying language of Bosnian aljamiado literature. In this work we commented some of typical phonetic-phonological performances of Berbić’s Bosnian Primer, printed in Istanbul in 1886. Before language analyze are given some basic remarks about attitude of scientific publicity towards aljamiado texts and this text in particular. Th is primer is usually mentioned in works that are overall based about question of arebica and its reform. However work of Adnan Kadrić (1999) – „View of the orthographic peculiarities of the Arabic alphabet in Bosnian Primer of Ibrahim Berbic” – is fully dedicated to this work. In it are shown the results of analyze of orthographic specifications of this work, and author addressed the way of writing individual types of words not just domestics origin but turcizams also. In our work are brought the results of language analyze of the same work. Analysis shown that specifi cs of Berbić›s linguistics expression on phonetic-phonological plan refer to reflex of voice jat, keeping voice h, realization / non-realization, in a letter, some of voice changes and the other voice changes related to assimilations and dissimilations of voices and the other appearances. Surely central question in linguistic analyze of this work is reflex of voice jat in same work. In this work ijekavian-jekavian replacement of jat prevails, but lexemes with ekavian replacement are used very often. Number of lexemes with ikavian replacement is quite lesser in regards to lexemes with ijekavian-jekavian or ekavian replacement. Most of the observed characteristics are features of the Eastern Bosnian dialect, but also indicators of a kind koine that is present in this work, probably as a result of knowing the language tradition in Bosnia, but the former South Slavic linguistic thought and Berbić›s origin and education.
