Epic poetry on Serbo-Croatian language

The song Young Marjan and Arnaut Osman (Serbian: Млади Марјан и Арнаут-Осман) was recorded by Vuk Karadžić (Narodne srpske pjesme III, Lajpcig, 1823), based on the singing of Anđelko Vuković from Kosovo[2] (from whose singing Vuk recorded totally four songs).[3] The main motif of this song is brotherhood and conciliation.[4]

Another song recorded by Vuk Karadžić (also in 1823) is titled Sekula and Arnaut Osman[5]

The song Mujo Hrnjica kills Simun Brehulja (Bosnian: Mujo Hrnjica pogubi Simuna Brehulju) is evidence that Arnaut Osman was one of famous bayraktars in the epic poetry of Bosniaks.[6] In this song, Christian hero Siun Brehulja inflicted deadly wounds to Arnaut Osman and killed cheteniks under his command.[7]

Some singers of this song referred to Osman as Captain Osman instead of Arnaut Osman.[8] Some variants of this song are titled Mujo Hrnjica Liberates His Blood-Brother Arnaut Osman[9]

Arnaut Osman is one of the heroes of the novel written by Đura Jakšić.[10]

Epic poetry on Albanian language

Arnaut Osman is also a hero of the Albanian epic poetry. He is one of main characters in the song Sirotan Alia and Arnaut Osman (Albanian: Siran Tin Alia dhe Arnaut Osmani)[11] Albanian epic poetry had almost identic song to song about Mali Radojica, although the name of the hero is not Mali Radojica but Arnaut Osman.[12]
