Brojevi u ijekavskošćakavskom govoru Sarajeva
Numbers in the Ijekavian-Šćakavian Dialect of Sarajevo

Summary/Abstract: The paper describes numbers in the Sarajevo dialect of older speakers and connects them with those from the neighboring dialects. Numbers are a non-independent type of word, which in the process of language development lost its declension forms and some numbers became immutable, some partially changeable, and some, again, declinate completely. The conducted research shows that in Sarajevo speech the number one of the main numbers is variable, the numbers two, three and four appear in the basic (N/A) form, while the other main numbers are unchanged (with the exception of the noun hiĺada). Aggregate numbers also show a tendency to lose case suffixes. Ordinal numbers have a pronoun-adjective change and forms of all genders and both numbers.
