Muhamed Hevaji Uskufi Bosnevi: Difference between revisions
The books/the titles of the books are transliterated wrongly; It (when translated-) says ".. of the Serbs", referring to the Serbian Muslim population in the Sanjak of Smederevo. The books themselves are talking about how the Serbs in the Sanjak got converted; it's not a call to the faith of Islam in Serbian. Tag: Reverted |

Muhamed Hevaji Uskufi Bosnevi (Bosnian: Muhamed Hevaija Uskufija Bosnevi, Turkish: Mehmet Hevayi Uskufi, born c. 1600 in Dobrnja near Tuzla, died after 1651) was a Bosnian poet and writer who used the Arebica script.
Uskufi is noted as the author of the first "Bosnian-Turkish" dictionary in 1631; Magbuli 'ari, one of the earliest dictionaries of the Bosnian language. A hand-copy dating from 1798 is currently kept at the City Archive of Sarajevo.[1] The dictionary, written in verse, contains more than 300-word explanations and over 700 words translated between Bosnian and Turkish.
In his works, writing under the pseudonym Uskufi, Hevaji calls his language "Bosnian", and emphasizes his Bosnian descent.[2]
He is also the author of the religious and moral writing "Tabsirat al-'arifin" which is written partly in Turkish and partly in Bosnian, and the author of several poems in Turkish. From works written in his native tongue stand out "Ilahi bezeban-i Srb" (Nasheeds in Serbian) and "Bera- i da'vet-i iman be zeban-i Srb" (Call to Faith in Serbian).[3]
Legacy
Following a collaboration between the University of Oslo and the Bosnian Ministry of Education and sciences, the dictionary was reissued on national day in 2012 during a ceremony in Tuzla, the birth town of Hevaji. According to the Norwegian Slavist Svein Mønnesland, the dictionary is made relevant today not least because of politic aspects since it shows the Bosnian language to have a long tradition.[4]
