Bosniak and Bosnian are two similar words with similar meanings that should now be carefully distinguished. Until well into the twentieth century, they both meant '[an inhabitant] of Bosnia'.

  • That general meaning is now best expressed by Bosnian.
  • Bosniak should now be used for 'a Muslim inhabitant of Bosnia'.
