I speek Bosnian and English
and Bosnian and Serbian is not same shit

Bosnian language (bosanski j****) is one of the standard versions of the Central-South Slavic diasystem, based on the Štokavian dialect.
bosnian language is used primarily by Bosniaks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and elsewhere. It is based on the Western variant of the Shtokavian dialect and uses both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The name Bosnian language is the commonly accepted name among Bosniak linguists, and the name used by the ISO-639


HISTORY
Bosnian language uses both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. Bosnians have also used script, that was less standardized, so it had more versions and names: Bosančica, Bosnian Cyrillic (means the script that was originally from Bosnia), Begovica (used by Bosniak nobility). Bosniaks have also used arabic script called Arebica.

The irony of the Bosnian language is that its speakers Bosniaks are, on the level of colloquial idiom, more linguistically homogenous than either Serbs or Croats, but have failed, due to historical reasons, to standardize their language in the crucial 19th century. The first Bosnian dictionary, a rhymed Bosnian-Turkish glossary authored by Muhamed Hevaji Uskufi, was composed in 1631.But unlike Croatian dictionaries, which were written and published regularly, Uskufi's work remained an isolated foray. At least two factors were decisive:

* The Bosniak élite wrote almost exclusively in foreign (Arabic, Turkish, Persian) languages. Vernacular literature, written in modified Arabic script, was thin and sparse.
* The Bosniaks' national emancipation lagged behind that of the Serbs and Croats, and since denominational rather than cultural or linguistic issues played the pivotal role, a Bosnian language project didn't arouse much interest or support.

Prescriptions for the language of Bosniaks in the 19th and 20th centuries were written outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Probably the most authentic Bosniak writers (the so-called "Bosniak revival" at the turn of the century) wrote in an idiom that is closer to the Croatian form than to the Serbian one (western Štokavian-Ijekavian idiom, Latin script), but which possessed unmistakably recognizable Bosniak traits, primarily lexical ones. The main authors of the "Bosniak renaissance" were the polymath, politician and poet Safvet-beg Bašagić, the "poète maudit" Musa Ćazim Ćatić and the storyteller Edhem Mulabdić.

In the days of Communist Yugoslavia the lexis was Serbianized but the Latin script became dominant. After the collapse of Yugoslavia Bosniaks and Bosnians returned their mother tongue, under the old name of Bosnian, as a distinct national standard language.

On a formal level, the Bosnian language is beginning to take a distinctive shape: lexically, Islamic-Oriental loan words are becoming more frequent; phonetically and phonologically, the phoneme "h" is reinstated in many words as a distinct feature of Bosniak speech and language tradition; also, there are some changes in grammar, morphology and orthography that reflect the Bosniak pre-WWI literary tradition, mainly that of the Bosniak renaissance at the beginning of the 20th century.
