Summary/Abstract: Without adequate use of definition of the terms in treating the Ottoman period of the Bosnian history, we cannot achieve their true perception. Definitely, the most present terminological problem is the anachronism of the adjectives turski (Turkish) and osmanski (Ottoman). While some authors have an innocent inclination towards such a fairly leisurely practice, others will give, through an exclusive use of the wrong term, a stamp of narrowly nationalistic state to an universal Ottoman state, a state of the Turks, Bosniacs, Albanians and others.
