The Bosniaks are a Muslim Slavic ethnic group inhabiting Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Balkans. The Bosniaks were converted to Islam during the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and they spread throughout the Balkans under Ottoman rule, becoming minority groups in several former Ottoman countries. In 2016, 1,759,952 Bosnians lived in Bosnia, 2,000,000 in Turkey, 158,158 in Germany, 145,278 in Serbia, 128,047 in Austria, 98,766 in America, and several more tens of thousands in the diaspora (including 400,000 in the European Union alone). Almost all of them are Muslim, with most being nondenominational.
