Logical fallacies

This note, as given in the text, is a correct definition of the today's term:

This term is considered inaccurate since not all Bosniaks profess themselves to Islam or practice the religion. Partly because of this, since the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Bosniak has replaced Muslim as an official ethnic term in part to avoid confusion with the religious term Muslim – an adherent of Islam. Additionally, Bosniaks are native to Montenegro, Serbia including Kosovo, and Croatia whilst Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina may be practised by non-Bosniaks, such as the Turks of Bosnia and Herzegovina."Bosnia and Herzegovina: People", The World Factbook, American Central Intelligence Agency, ISSN 1553-8133,

So, the term is not accurate because it includes those who do not consider themselves Bosniaks (Serbs and Croats) and live in Bosnia. On another hand, it includes the Muslims living outside Bosnia (Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia) who are converts to Islam/descendants of Montenegrins, Serbs, and Macedonians. To go back in the past, makes no sense especially to the times when the Islam was not present in Bosnia. --X2Faces (talk) 00:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]


No, the term is not accurate because it groups all muslims as Bosniaks, which is not representative. There are muslim Serbs and Croats in Bosnia, there are non muslim Bosniaks, and atheists from all groups. Representing an ethnicity as just a religious group is not only disingenuous but also insulting. --Hrulj (talk) 13:21, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Musulmans in Bosna and in Macedonia.

In the artical are givan statistic data about the census in Yugoslavia - the people that selfidentificate as musulmans. Slav speaking muslumans in Macedonia are diferent ethicity from the musulmans in Bosna! Even in Turkey they separet the slav musulmans on two - bosnians - this that speac the former serbocroatian language and pomaks - that speak bulgarian incl. all macedonian musulmans. So you must remove the statistics for the musulmans in Macedonia as bosnians. It is not corect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.237.139.162 (talk) 20:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Official recognition of Bosniak ethnicity by Austria-Hungary

In the identity sections of the article the first sentence of the second paragraph states; "In Yugoslavia, unlike the preceding Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was no official recognition of Bosniak ethnicity."

That would indicate that Bosniak ethnicity was officially recognized by Austria-Hungary. I don't think that claim is true. Is it? The source provided is dead. I have found no mention of Bosniaks in demographics section of Austria-Hungary article or within the Ethnic and religious composition of Austria-Hungary or even United States of Greater Austria.
