Arebica (Bosnian: arabica) is a variant of the Arabic script used to write the Bosnian language. It was used mainly between the 15th and 19th centuries and is frequently categorized as part of Aljamiado literature. During Austro-Hungarian rule, there were unsuccessful efforts by Bosnian Muslims to grant Arebica equal status alongside Cyrillic alphabets.[1] Apart from literature, Arebica was used in religious schools and administration, though in much less use than other scripts.
