PyBosnian 🇧🇦

A fun programming language that translates Bosnian keywords to Python! Write Python code using your native Bosnian language.

About

This is a personal project created purely out of enjoyment towards Python and having fun with programming languages. The goal is to show how the Bosnian language would look as a programming language and to help Bosnian speakers learn programming concepts in their native language.

Features

Currently supports 28 Bosnian keywords translated to Python:

Control Flow

• ako → if
• inace → else
• inaceako → elif
• ponovi → for
• dok → while
• prekini → break
• nastavi → continue

Functions & Classes

• funkcija → def
• vrati → return
• klasa → class

Boolean & Logic

• Tacno → True
• Netacno → False
• i → and
• ili → or
• ne → not

Built-in Functions

• ispisi → print
• duzina → len
• unos → input
• rasponu → range

Imports

• uvezi → import
• iz → from
• kao → as

Exception Handling

• pokusaj → try
• osim → except
• konacno → finally

Other

• u → in
• sa → with
• proslediti → pass

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• VS Code (optional, for syntax highlighting)

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/najtms/PyBosnian.git
cd PyBosnian

2. That's it! No additional dependencies required.

VS Code Setup (Optional)

For the best experience with syntax highlighting:

1. Install the TODO Highlight extension
2. Open the project folder in VS Code
3. The workspace settings are already configured for keyword highlighting

Usage

Running .bos files

Create a file with the .bos extension and write your code in Bosnian:

# hello.bos
ispisi("Zdravo, svijete!")

ponovi broj u rasponu(5):
    ispisi(broj)

Run it using:

python3 bos.py your_file.bos

In VS Code

Simply press the Run button (▶) in the top-right corner!

Examples

Check out the examples/ folder for demonstrations:

• Example_1_petlje.bos - Loops (for, while, break, continue)
• Example_2_funkcije.bos - Functions and return statements
• Example_3_uslovi.bos - Conditionals and logical operators
• Example_4_liste.bos - Lists and iteration
• Example_5_klase.bos - Classes and objects
• Example_6_greske.bos - Exception handling

Quick Example

# Function that checks if a number is even
funkcija je_paran(broj):
    ako broj % 2 == 0:
        vrati Tacno
    inace:
        vrati Netacno

# Test it
ponovi broj u rasponu(10):
    ako je_paran(broj):
        ispisi(broj, "je paran")
    inace:
        ispisi(broj, "je neparan")

How It Works

The interpreter (bos.py) reads your .bos file, translates Bosnian keywords to Python using regex with word boundaries, and executes the translated code using Python's exec().
