About the Bosnian language.
Bosnian is one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, alongside Croatian and Serbian. It is written mainly in the Latin alphabet, and also in Cyrillic.
Documents from Bosnia and Herzegovina may be issued in Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian, sometimes in more than one. We translate from the language actually used. Bosnian shares most of its grammar with Croatian and Serbian, and has some vocabulary of Turkish, Arabic and Persian origin. We keep names and special letters exactly as they appear on the identity document.
Bosnian to English is usually personal, civil, academic and immigration documents. English to Bosnian is usually community, business and public information content.
Common Bosnian documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
