    I always thought "Blisko = close" in Polish looked out of place.

    I guess for Bosnian there's Amidža, but maybe there are some Serbs and Croats who use it as well. Btw, do Serbs and Croats say Avlija and Bašća/Bašta at all?

    It cant be like that. If you claim that this is from Thracian, then explain to me why these words also exists in most distant Turkic speakers in Siberia to bordering China, Uyghurs. Thracians taught these words to Uyghurs in China too?

    Already, no one knows the Thracian peoples language either. So how come you can conclude that these are loans from Thracian?

    Medvjed, these words are Ottoman era loans from Turkish meaning uncle, yard, garden. I think they are asking for basic old words in slavic with obscure origins, like jedem, iskam, not the Ottoman era loans.

    Bašta, Bašća- Vrt/Vrtal

    Avlija- Dvor/Dvorište

    Amidža- Stric


    we generally dont have that much turcizms, but have some like Čekić,Čizma, Šećer... etc

    In that case there are none, unless you group Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian into Serbo-Croatian.

    We have loads of unique words, maybe most out of all, we even have one village up in NW Croatia that speaks a slavic language which coupled with their accent noone understands but them

    I could make probably full topic about unique words, but here is one example:

    Barakokula
