The Bosniak people are a South Slavic ethnic group primarily found in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are predominantly Muslim and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional music, dance, and cuisine. The Bosniaks speak Bosnian, a South Slavic language, which is closely related to Croatian and Serbian. Historically, the Bosniaks have faced significant challenges, particularly during the Bosnian War in the 1990s. This conflict led to widespread displacement and loss of life among the Bosniak population. Today, they continue to contribute to the cultural and social fabric of Bosnia and Herzegovina, promoting peace and reconciliation in the region.
