The paper attempts to provide a critical overview of the perception of the standard Bosnian language by Bosniaks. It briefly presents the Bosniak language policy over the last twenty years, reminding here that this policy does not have any institutional framework, but is rather a set of more or less separate activities of expert groups and individuals. Significant results were achieved in setting the norms of the Bosnian language; however, these were accompanied by some exaggerations and failures. The conclusion emphasises the need for a thorough change of the attitude of Bosniaks towards the standard Bosnian language.
