Summary/Abstract: The literature created by Bosniac poets from Sandzak is a typical kind of literature created "outside of the original homeland". Sandzak, as a border area, is a typical enclave type area that produces a potential of the language idioms' syncretism: Serbian, Montenegrian and Bosnian. This language syncretism per se is enriched with the variable "excess sense". Hence, it is reserving the right to accurateness and importance of speech (colloquial and artistic). The aspiration of that merged kind of expression produced and it is still visibly producing the recognizable literary works. On the other hand, the language syncretism has, as its basis, the ethnological and anthropological syncretism. Here, the pagan elements intertwine with Islamic, Slavic with oriental, pre-Christian with Christian elements etc.
