Muhamed Hevaji Uskufi Bosnevi (Turkish: Mehmet Hevayi Uskufi, born c. 1600 in Dobrnja near Tuzla, died after 1651) was an Ottoman-Bosnian[citation needed] poet and writer who used the Arebica script.

[1] The dictionary, written in verse, contains more than 300-word explanations and over 700 words translated between Bosnian[citation needed] and Turkish.

[3] Possibly terms designating Serbian and Bosnian language[citation needed] in his work could be synonyms.

Following a collaboration between the University of Oslo and the Bosnian Ministry of Education and sciences, the dictionary was reissued on national day in 2012 during a ceremony in Tuzla, the birth town of Hevaji.

According to the Norwegian Slavist Svein Mønnesland, the dictionary is made relevant today not least because of political aspects since it shows the Bosnian language to have a long tradition.
