phraseology, South Slavic languages, oriental loanwords, Turkish, standard language, dialects, anthroponym

The article considers the Bosnian phraseological units with anthroponymic orientalisms. The authors deal with both outdated phraseological units and those that are actively used nowadays. Due to the vastness of orientalisms as a special genetic layer of South Slavic vocabulary, the authors analyze the expressions that denote a person in such aspects as intellect, title, position, occupation and etc., which Slavic Muslims (those living in Bosnia and Herzegovina) frequently use in their everyday speech.
Historical events and language contacts contributed to the borrowing of thematically diverse orientalisms by the South Slavic languages. The five-century domination of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula resulted in borrowings from the Old Ottoman (Old Turkish) language, which became both the source language and (often) the intermediate language through which Arabisms and Persisms entered the South Slavic recipient languages. In addition to the Arab-Persian elements, the old Ottoman language is rich in borrowings from other languages. The term Turkish usually refers to the vocabulary of the old Ottoman rather than the modern Turkish language. Oriental vocabulary penetrated into the languages of the southern Slavs mainly through oral spoken language. Due to historical reasons, the greatest number of borrowings from the Turkish language as a part of phraseological units is observed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In addition to this, the authors give possible cultural, historical and etymological comments on phraseological units; show the meaning of the units and components of phraseological units. Phraseo-logical units with a comparison structure are not considered.
