ORIGIN OF EKAVISM IN THE SPEECHES OF TEŠANJ-MAGLAJ AREA

Journal Title: Bosanski jezik - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

There are several different hypothesis about the origin of ekavisms of Ekavian-Jekavian speeches of Tešanj-Maglaj area, Gojko Ružičić's hypothesis being one of them. According to it the substitution of yat was realized in another area, “probably in the vicinity of the Sava River“, where from the Ekavian-Jekavian characteristics of speech were transferred to the area of Tešanj and Maglaj due to migration. This paper discusses the Ružičić's hypothesis and migration of the Bosniak population from Slavonia by the end of seventeenth century as a possible source of ekavisms in the speeches of the Tešanj-Maglaj area. The author shows that the evidence for the import of ekavism into Tešanj-Maglaj area is qiute probable, but that Ružičić's hypothesis could be "reinforced" by defters or other historical documents indicating that at least some Ekavian-Jekavian settlements of the Tešanj-Maglaj area have been mentioned for the first time after the great migration from Posavina. Such documents, however, are not available to us, because the Turkish registers of the villages in the Tešanj-Maglaj area made after the 1604th are not arranged. Other documents that might indicate a safe solution of the problem have not been found.
