Bosnian Pronunciation Rules

Before you try counting numbers, you should know how to pronounce words in the Bosnian language first. One quick tip is to remember that Slavic languages are phonetic. That means English speakers can pronounce the words according to how they look like. They are also written in the Latin alphabet, which indicates it represents only one sound unless combined with other letters.

Not to mention, Bosnian stems from Serbo-Croatian phonology. That means enthusiasts like you should also practice those under the Serbo-Croatian language family.

Moreover, vowels follow the same quality as English vowels. These are /a, e, i, o, u/, which can be long or short vowels. In many cases, unstressed vowels are shorter in pronunciation and are fewer than stressed (longer) vowels.

Let’s look at some phonology and pronunciation rules you will find when studying the Bosnian language.
