Summary/Abstract: The paper discuses views on Bosnian language in Mehmed-beg Kapetanovic’s brochures. In literature, these brochures are determined differently by genre, primarily with its historical and literal, as well as political and social significance. Today we look at them as a testimony of one’s period breaking point in which shift between two states and its cultural-civilization forms had occurred, which has been reflected in a special way in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving the far reaching consequences on Bosniak’s overall social and cultural life. Within these brochures, Ljubušak talks about all current issues of that time, including the language name, which was one of the major challenges that faced new Austro-Hungarian administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, other topics about which Ljubušak writes in these brochures will not be neglected, since some of them are actual in today’s historic moment.
