Slavic Muslims

Slavic Muslims (Serbo-Croatian: Muslimani) are an ethno-religious group in the Balkans that speaks the Serbo-Croat language and professes the Islamic faith.

The most numerous contingent of Slavic Muslims resided in Bosnia-Herzegovina but in 1994 opted for a name change to Bosniaks. However, some Slavic Muslims, particularly those living in Serbia and Montenegro (about 50,000), Croatia and FYROM opted to keep the name of Muslimani (Muslims) instead of adopting the term Bošnjaci (Bosnians or Bosniaks).
