Bosniaks
The Bosniaks are a South Slavic people, mainly Muslim, native to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Sandžak region of Serbia and Montenegro. Their identity took shape under Ottoman rule, during which much of the population converted to Islam. Recognised in Yugoslavia as a nation under the name Muslims from 1968, they adopted the name Bosniaks in 1993 and are the largest group in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
