Summary/Abstract: In the dialectological literature it is commonly known that the question of the reflexion of the old voice jat is the most interesting phenomenon in our dialects, especially in the words of the southern type, and today’s circumstances doubtless activate the question of the reflexion of the old voice jat since this question became one of the key differential characteristics among the standard languages middle-Slavic area. Uneven replacement of jat in the same voice positions is due to various factors, so it is clear why to this issue are devoted many of works that are quite broadly set up and viewed in both monographs and normative manuals. The Southeastern Bosnian speaking type belongs to the East Herzegovina dialect, and by replacing the jat they became part of a ijekavian. The source for the linguistic and philological analysis of this work consists of the surveys Questions about speech of the populace from 1897 and of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian dialectal complex (1975– 1986).
