Arebica

During Austro-Hungarian rule, there were unsuccessful efforts by Bosnian Muslims to grant Arebica equal status alongside Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.

Arebica was based on the Perso-Arabic script of the Ottoman Empire, with added letters for /t͡s/, /ʎ/ and /ɲ/, which are not found in Arabic, Persian or Turkish.

Full letters were eventually introduced for all vowels (as with Kurdish Arabic script), making Arebica a true alphabet, unlike its Perso-Arabic base.

This book represents the completion of the standardization of Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević's version, and is also a textbook for higher education.

Palatal affricates /tɕ/ and /dʑ/ are both typically spelt as ⟨ك⟩, due to the Persian letter ⟨گ⟩ not having been widely adopted yet, while velar stops /k/ and /g/ are represented with ⟨ق⟩ and ⟨غ⟩.
