Bosnian Muslims consider themselves to be a distinct ethnic group with Bosnia-Herzegovina their only homeland. They are the major ethno-religious group of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the country is shared with Serbs and Croats. During the war of 1992-95, especially in the eastern and northern parts of the country, the Serb and Croat armies killed or expelled many Bosnian Muslims. The Bosnian Muslims have a strong urban orientation; after 1995 they concentrated in Sarajevo, Zenica and Tuzla. The Bosnian Muslims share a common spoken language with the Serbs and Croats (Serbo-Croat, a Slavic language in the Indo-European language family), but after the war they referred to their language as Bosnian.
