Summary/Abstract: The characteristic features and idyosyncrasies of the language of the Bosnian Friar literature have been intensively studded and these studies reveal many ties that the Friar literature in Bosnia established with the literatures, of other areas. As far the non-literary works, it has, been noted that they exemplify many specific features but that they are very closely related with the organic idioms. It is possible for the linguist to identify many similarities between the language used din friar literary works and that of non-literary works. The aim of this article is to show the extent to which the authors, of non-literary texts tried to adjust their language to the language of literary works and how the oral, conversational usage of language could influence these non-literary texts. Many of the non-literary texts, were greatly influenced by the oral tradition of popular poetry.
