Rade Uhlik (February 1, 1899 - June 12, 1991), Bosnian-Herzegovinian romologist, linguist, academic and writer.
Rade Uhlik was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1899. His name was Aladar, but he later changed it to Rade. He spent his youth in Vienna, Pesta and Belgrade, where he studied German. Returning to Bosnia, he taught German at high schools in Prijedor, Tuzla and Sarajevo. After the Second World War, as a polyglot, who spoke staggering 14 languages, he got a job as a translator at Tanjug. For some time he worked as a curator at the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. His scientific activity is primarily related to the collection of Romani oral tradition, to the description of Romani culture and various dialects of the Romani language in the Balkans. He introduced the term Gurbeti for a group of Roma who inhabited the Western and Central Balkans. Their linguistic peculiarities he classified into four groups of gurbet. He researched primarily the speeches of Bosnian Gurbet, but also others, and those of Arli, Burgijaš, Gopt, etc. He also collected a rich material of Roma poetry, stories and jokes. He published a collection of Romani poems in the original Romana gilja in 1937, then translated Gypsy Poetry (1957) and Gypsy Stories (1957). He created three Romani dictionaries: Dictionary of Bosnian-Romani (Bosnian Romani Vocabulary, 1942–43), Serbo-Croatian-Gypsy Dictionary (Romane alava, 1947) and Serbo-Croatian-Romani-English Dictionary (Romengo alavari, 1983). In a number of published scientific papers, he left valuable records about the originally Croatian Roma community Gopta. Much of his manuscript legacy was destroyed during the 1992 war, and some works are kept in the Library of the Department of Indology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb.
He has collaborated with international research centers dealing with the study of the Balkans and Roma issues, such as the Gypsy Lore Society in Liverpool.
He was a member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina (AZUBiH). He was an expert consultant in Aleksandar Petrović's film "I Even Met Happy Gypsies". [1] [2]
Uhlik's literary opus is extensive and diverse. His most notable works are:
Serbian is the standardized variety of the Serbo-Croatian language mainly used by Serbs. It is the official and national language of Serbia, one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina and co-official in Montenegro and Kosovo. It is a recognized minority language in Croatia, North Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
Bosnian, sometimes referred to as Bosniak language, is the standardized variety of the Serbo-Croatian pluricentric language mainly used by ethnic Bosniaks. Bosnian is one of three such varieties considered official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with Croatian and Serbian. It is also an officially recognized minority language in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Kosovo.
Gurbeti are a sub-group of the Romani people living in Cyprus and North Cyprus, Turkey, Crimea, Albania, Serbia and the former Yugoslavia whose members are Eastern Orthodox and predominantly Muslim Roma. The Gurbeti make up approximately two thirds of the population of Roma in Macva, many of whom work in agriculture. In Kosovo, other Romani groups viewed the Gurbeti negatively.
The Kalderash are a subgroup of the Romani people. They were traditionally coppersmiths and metal workers and speak a number of Romani dialects grouped together under the term Kalderash Romani, a sub-group of Vlax Romani.
Literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a complex literary production within Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is seen as a unique, singular literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina, consisting literary traditions of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Depending of period in history, it is written in Serbo-Croatian, Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian language, and uses both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, and historically, it used Ladino, Arabic, Persian and Ottoman-Turkish, with a use of peculiar form known as Aljamiado and Arebica. Hence, literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina was realized within the framework of multicultural-civilizational paradigm. It is closely related to other South Slavic literature.
Romani people, or Roma, are the fourth largest ethnic group in Serbia, numbering 131,936 (1.98%) according to the 2022 census. However, due to a legacy of poor birth registration and some other factors, this official number is likely underestimated. Estimates that correct for undercounting suggest that Serbia is one of countries with the most significant populations of Roma people in Europe at 250,000-500,000. Anywhere between 46,000 to 97,000 Roma are internally displaced from Kosovo after 1999.
