Medieval Record Marks 590 Years of Bosnian Language Mention

July 3, 2026, marks 590 years since the Bosnian language was explicitly named in historical documents. A medieval notarized record from Kotor, dated 1436, describes the sale of a girl from Bosnia, identifying her by her Bosnian origin, faith, and the Bosnian language she spoke. This document is a significant early reference to the language.
