Introduction

This phrasebook and dictionary contains over 3,400 medical terms  in  English and Bosnian.  It will be indispensable for anyone doing humanitarian relief in areas where Bosnian is spoken. With the current war in Ukraine, millions of people are now being displaced, many with little language skills in the countries to which they are fleeing. While the greatest number have fled to Poland, there are a large numbers of Ukrainian speakers in the United States and other English speaking countries,  as well as Russia, southeast Europe, Bosnia, Belarus, Moldova, Israel, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania.

This dictionary and phrasebook is designed to assist those who need medical attention.  In addition to the triage and wound care sections, there is a section of phrases for medical assessment and specialties.  There is also a section on English, and Bosnian pronunciation. 

This dictionary is extracted from our Words R Us system, a derivative of WordNet. English Wordnet, originally created by Princeton University is a lexical database for the English language. It groups words in English into sets of synonyms called synsets, provides brief definitions and usage examples, and records a series of relationships between these sets of synonyms. WordNet can be viewed as both a combination dictionary and thesaurus.

Uvod

Ovaj zbornik izraza i rječnik sadrži preko 3.400 medicinskih pojmova na engleskom i bosanskom jeziku. Sva tri ova jezika su u gornjem sloju jezika u svijetu. Ovaj rječnik će biti nezamjenjiv za sve koji se bave humanitarnom pomoći u područjima gdje se govori bosanski. Sa trenutnim ratom u Ukrajini, milioni ljudi su sada raseljeni, od kojih mnogi ne znaju jezik u zemljama u koje bježe. Iako je najveći broj pobjegao u Poljsku, postoji veliki broj onih koji govore ukrajinski u Sjedinjenim Državama i drugim zemljama engleskog govornog područja, kao i u Rusiji, jugoistočnoj Evropi, Bosni, Bjelorusiji, Moldaviji, Izraelu, Bugarskoj, Mađarskoj i Rumuniji.

Ovaj rječnik i zbornik izraza osmišljeni su da pomognu onima kojima je potrebna medicinska pomoć. Pored odjeljaka za trijažu i njegu rana, postoji odjeljak fraza za medicinsku procjenu i specijalnosti. Tu je i dio o engleskom i bosanskom izgovoru.

Ovaj rečnik je izvučen iz našeg sistema Words R Us, izvedenog od WordNet-a. Engleski Wordnet, koji je prvobitno kreirao Univerzitet Princeton, je leksička baza podataka za engleski jezik. Grupira riječi na engleskom u skupove sinonima koji se nazivaju sinsetovi, daje kratke definicije i primjere upotrebe i bilježi niz odnosa između ovih skupova sinonima. WordNet se može posmatrati i kao kombinovani rečnik i tezaurus.

Introduction to Bonsian

The Bosnian language is the standardized variety of Serbo-Croatian mainly used by Bosniaks. Bosnian is one of three such varieties considered official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with Croatian and Serbian. It is also an officially recognized minority or regional language in Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo. The differences between the Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian literary standards are minimal. Although Bosnian employs more Turkish, Persian, and Arabic loanwords—commonly called orientalisms—it is very similar to both Serbian and Croatian in its written and spoken form. Bosnian is spoken by approximately 3 million people.

Bosnian uses both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, with Latin in everyday use. It is notable among the varieties of Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian for a number of Arabic, Ottoman Turkish and Persian loanwords, largely due to the language's interaction with those cultures through Islamic ties.

Until the 1990s, the language was called Serbo-Croatian and that term is still used in English, along with Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian (BCMS), especially in diplomatic circles.
