You guys got it all wrong. Bosniak dates to 1994 when a convention of Islamic leaders in Sarajevo agreed upon their name. After all, Tvrtko was "King of the Serbs (people) and Bosnia (region)."
The Balkans are now an absolute breeding ground for invented traditions. To further illustrate, Montenegro's national costume was invented by Petar Njegoš to turn wearers into Serbian tricolor flags. Still, Montenegrins, like Bosniaks, are today "nations."
Bosnian Muslim and western (uniformed) historians trace "Bosniaks" back to Bogomils, which began in Bulgaria, but they aren't calling themselves Bosniaks today.
