Paddy Ashdown, UN High Representative to Bosnia and Herzegovina

 

"My Communicaid trainers were first-class teachers, patient, enthusiastic and very diligent. My team and I enjoyed our Bosnian lessons at the Diplomatic Service Language Centre of the FCO and made more progress than we thought would be possible in the time allocated for language training."

 

From an intensive one-to-one Bosnian course at our London training centre to an in-company Bosnian course, Communicaid can provide you with a Bosnian language course that meets your unique needs. With training centres in London, Paris, Frankfurt and New York providing countrywide coverage and partner organisations worldwide, Communicaid is uniquely placed to be your local, national and international training partner for your Bosnian language training.

Why a Bosnian course in London? Our Bosnian courses are highly personalised and designed to improve your Bosnian communication and language skills, whether your focus is business, financial, diplomatic, legal or social. Upon completion of a Bosnian course with Communicaid here in London, you will have the confidence to communicate in Bosnian with clients, suppliers and colleagues.

Bosanski – Facts about the Bosnian language

 

Bosnian is the official language of Bosnia and Herzegovina.  It is estimated that there are 2.7 million speakers of Bosnian worldwide, with the majority of Bosnian speakers based in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro. Bosnian speakers account for approximately 50% of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s population.

Bosnian is part of the South Slavic group of the Slavic branch of the Indo-European family. While it is acknowledged that there are differences today in nuance, vocabulary and usage, Croatian and Serbian are mutually intelligible with Bosnian, having all been integrated into a single language, Serbo-Croatian, during the era of communist Yugoslavia.  As Yugoslavia broke up, the language also mirrored the break up, with three languages officially formed according to historical, cultural and political lines.

Bosnian uses both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. A form of Arabic script, Arabica, has also been used by Bosnians.
