The Bosniaks (Bosnian: Bošnjaci, Cyrillic: Бошњаци, pronounced [boʃɲǎːtsi]; singular masculine: Bošnjak [bǒʃɲaːk], feminine: Bošnjakinja) are a South Slavic ethnic group native to the Southeast European historical region of Bosnia,[15] today part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and who share a common ancestry, culture, history and the Bosnian language. Traditionally and predominantly adhering to Sunni Islam, they constitute native communities in what is today Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and the Republic of Kosovo. Largely due to displacement stemming from the Bosnian War in the 1990s they also make up a significant diaspora with several communities across Europe, the Americas and Oceania.
Bosniaks are typically characterized by their historic ties to the Bosnian historical region, adherence to Islam since the 15th and 16th centuries, culture, and the Bosnian language. Bosniaks have also frequently been denoted Bosnian Muslims in the Anglophone sphere mainly owing to this having been the primary verbiage used in the media coverage of the Bosnian War during the 1990s, however this term is today considered problematic for several reasons when intended as an ethnic descriptor rather than a religious one.[note 2] Bosniaks may also often simply be referred to as Bosnians, though this term is understood to denote all inhabitants of Bosnia and Herzegovina (regardless of ethnic identity) or apply to citizens of the country.
