DIE ARABISCHE SPRACHE IM BOSNISCHEN SPRACHGEBRAUCH
"THE USE OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE IN THE SPEECH OF BOSNIAN PEOPLE"

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the origins of the Islamic language culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the use and frequency of certain Arabic words and phrases in the speech of Bosniaks. The study was aimed at a specific population of Bosniaks, and analyzed communication between Muslims, who practice the religion of Islam, and who are trying to follow the Prophet Muhammad, in their behavior, culture and language. For this occasion, we selected analysis of linguistic usage of the following phrases from the Qur'an and Hadith: Assalamu alaikum, Alayhi salam, Bismillah, Masha Allah, Insha Allah, and Subhan Allah. The Quran is the first and main source of all Islamic sciences. Given the fact that all Muslims are obliged to use the Allah's Speech in the original Arabic language in order to perform their basic Islamic duties, this study will confirm the fact that the original text of the Qur'an can not be translated in the entire content of the second language. Phrases that will be analyzed in this paper are viewed from the aspect of universality. Muslims all over the world, regardless of their nation and culture, have the same greeting - Salam. All Muslims in their speech use the phrase Bismillah, Masha Allah, Insha Allah, and Subhan Allah because of their divine origin.
