Definition
Relating to Bosnia and Herzegovina, its people, or their language. Can also function as a noun referring to a person from Bosnia.
Etymology
From Bosnia, ultimately from the river name Bosna, possibly from Illyrian bass meaning 'flowing water.' The -ian suffix follows the standard pattern for forming nationality adjectives.
Kelly Says
The Bosnian language paradox illustrates how politics shapes linguistics - Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian are mutually intelligible and were once considered a single language called Serbo-Croatian, but political independence led to their recognition as separate languages with distinct literary standards.
