Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the authors engage in questions regarding the courses and methodic research in the curriculum of the native language subject during the era of The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, or Yugoslavia. The state of education is analysed, primarily the classes of native language and literature after the Austro-Hungarian dissolution and the emergence of The Kingdom in the late 1918. New government enacted a ‘Law of the official language and writing’ which appoints the new language in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be either Croatian or Serbian, and Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are equal in use. The curriculum of the native language, through grammar and orthography, was unitary conceived. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, neither autonomous nor native linguistic or educational policies existed, therefore, the methodic research regarding the native language and literature was non-existent, except in the case of Salih Ljubunčić, Bosnian methodologist who worked in Zagreb. In The Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the curricula of the native language and literature for elementary schools and high schools were methodically and systematically made, with different syllabi and regulations, but mostly with exclusion of Bosnian and Herzegovinian writers and local linguistic distinctiveness.
