Bosniak Americans
Bosniak Americans (Bosnian: Američki Bošnjaci) are Americans whose ancestry can be traced to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Sanjak region. The majority of Bosniak Americans immigrated to the United States during the Bosnian War which lasted from 1992 to 1995. Nevertheless, the first Bosniaks settled in Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The largest Bosniak American population can be found in St. Louis and Chicago which boasts the largest number of Bosniaks in the world outside Europe.
