Phonetics characteristics in Treasure of Eastern of Mehmed-beg Kapetanovic Ljubusak

Summary/Abstract: This work is study of the phonetics characteristic in the book Treasure of Eastern which was published 1896 AD by Mehmed-beg Kapetanovic Ljubusak, and which this Bosniak writer made translating Arabian, Turkish and Persian proverbs into Bosnian language. This book Ljubusak made in the time of the fateful turning point in the expression style of the Bosniaks in literature and language, reflecting in coupling the culture of the East with the modern spirit of the West. This is very important to know because just few years before Ljubusak published Treasure of Eastern have been published Gramatic of Bosnian language (1890 AD) – a book that brought new gramatic and standard in Bosnian language. Also, very important moment for Ljubusak’s writing were Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic’s reforms and his language standards. Throughout whole book, Ljubusak (although his main goal was proverb translating into Bosnian language) introduced us thru proverbs with elements of folk poetry. The folk influence in Ljubusak’s work can be seen in a great number of expressive phrases, ornamenting expressions. The most importanat thing (which was the main leader in this work) is tendency of showing the way how Ljubusak’s language reflects the bond with the preceding heritage. Also, Ljubusak has showed that he was way ahead from the time when he made his books in a field of language and phonetics characteristics.
