Going through and labeling every single Turkish, Persian, and Arabic word as "regionalism" simply because you have not heard them (but somehow you know they are orientalisms) doesn't help at all. And no, HJP does not label Croatian-only words as "regionalisms". It labels some as "neologisms", but not as regionalisms. I'm tempted to revert all the recent edits. And yes, all of these words are well known in Bosnia and some in Serbia as well. Some are considered only poetic, dated, or historical in Serbia, whereas in Bosnia they are deeply embedded in Bosnian culture and daily usage.
