Very interesting. They took the Muslim religion while being in the Balkans, then they went to Turkey but they're still somewhat keeping their Balkan roots.
@justseven3487 Well, it's slightly more complicated than that. Bosnia spent 5 centuries under Ottoman rule and with the downfall of the empire and the retreat of Turks, some Muslims followed and migrated to Turkey and Austria was granted then good part of balkans, becouse they fell behind on all the imperialistic chase of the time and had no colonies on other continents, so a concession in their favor was made by other european powers of the time. I'm not deep into history of the time, but bosnian highschool text books never mention any persecutions of muslims, rather state that some weren't comfortable with change of power and feared potential persecutions or they already had family members in Turkey and they joined them. Austria had a strong state and laws and treated their citizens equally, so even Muslims that stayed prospered under their rule. My sister in law is Bulgarian and I have friends from Romania and what always amazes me is that they never call Muslims living in their country Muslims, but use term Turks instead, but I came to know that they are actually of turkish descent, even speak the language 😂. Bosnian Muslims are mostly local converts of 6 centuries ago and even before then Bosnia was a multireligiouse society (Catholics, Orthodox and Bogumil) and at some point Bogumil just got extinct (only a few hundred of engraved stones they left us with) and historians hypothese that they most probably converted to Islam in mass and Bosnia is the only country on the balkan that accounts for over 50% of Muslim population.
I speak Serbian language, my best friend speaks Bosnian, and my wife speaks Croatian. My mom speaks Montenigrian. We all understand each other perfectly well. However, all my friends from Australia, USA and UK speak English and don't always understand each other perfectly well. Interesting world.
@@bidigibih8679 Why not? I'm a Muslim, I love Ottomans and Ottoman history, Turkiye is a muslim country and I've been many times, they are very fond of us Bosnians. And I do have ancestors from Turkey in the caucaus's, my DNA test showed it
Awesome video Ben! Thank you! I am Bosniak who loves traveling. I've been to many countries and Iived in 🇸🇬 and 🇲🇾 currently living in 🇸🇪. Bosnian language, tradition and cultural heritage I carry in my ❤️ always. On one occassion 2008 I visited one Bosnian village near Yalova in Turkey. It was amazing. It felt lke you are somewhere in 🇧🇦. I am traveling to Antalya 🇹🇷 next weekend but surely will return and visit this beautiful Bosnian place in 🇹🇷 one day.
You are like a bosnian hunter. If you want to find bosnians just go to any coffee shop. They will be the ones drinking their 10th coffee and have been sitting there for 8hrs
Moj deda je upoznao Bošnjake iz Turske, tokom rada u Iraku, 1984-5. godine. Mnogi su radili teške poslove i bili dobri i vredni ljudi. Jako su voleli našu muziku, pa im je deda kupovao kasete u Jugoslaviji se i donosilo. Žalili su se tada da su kao doseljenici bili loše tretirani u Turskoj. Mnogi od njih su živeli u siromašnim četvrtima gradova. Danas su potpuno asimilovani i imena su im primenjena. U Turskoj nema manjina. Svi moraju biti Turci. Svi mi smo isti narod, koji je podeljen zbog interesa velikih sila i religija. Kada slušam ove stare, kao svoju babu i dedu da vidim. Tuga je velika šta je urađeno i koliko smo se međusobno ubijali!
A neces da kazes kako si uh srbi crnohorcini hrvati protjerivali sa sve tri strane uz pomoc velikih sila da rasele sto vise Bosnjaka? To kako su tretirani je laz vec Turska je bila na koljenima i veliko siromastvo. A nisu klali Bosnjake kao tvoji cetnici u prvom drugom svijetskom ratu

This is so cool and educational. The story about these Bosniaks was never told before in the former Yugoslavia, or not that much. So interesting to see an American doing this. Thank you Ben!
Ben the Bosnian explorer/hunter… keep up the good work… would not be surprised if you went and explored the Bosnians that live in Central Africa (Southern Egypt and Northern Sudan).
@@BenTheRules Its when Ottoman Empire had occupied that area. To defend the newly acquired territory the Bosnian soldiers were left there to defend it. The soldiers of Bosnia at that time and their descendants married the tribeswomen of Gharbye and Djowabere tribes.
One of the reasons why there are millions of Bosniaks in Turkey is the Ottoman-Russian war. The Russian administration of that period committed genocide against hundreds of thousands of Muslims, such as Turkish,Bosnian Albanian,Pomak, living in the Balkans.
Really enjoy these video's, it's super interesting aswell, a whole village of people who have preserved the Bosnian language in Turkey. There is not alot of content about the Balkans so i'm sure it's safe to say we are all thankfull to you for making these video's, you look like you're from the Balkans btw haha. Keep making these, great job bro 💯💯
they have villages in Palestine, Jordan and Syria too left over Bosniaks that were part of various empires stayed there and some still speak little Bosnian
@@dzevadbayraktar322oh I dinna know that. I know about the Molise Croats and Arbereshe Albanians and Israeli Circassians and Egyptian Magyars and Sudan Greeks. and Rmanian Armenians and Azeri Poles and....butt not them. I love shit like that. Like historical minorities I guess.
Hi Ben. Nice, exotic video u made here. Nicely done. I dont know if u know but, I heard that there is a also place in Sudan or South Egypt where is Bosniaks village. Some Bosnian garnizon went to defend south Ottoman borders and never went back. Would be nice if you would explore it. Pozdrav druže
Hvala lijepo Benjamin. I have visited Bosnia long ago, and I live now in Ankara. Based on your invaluable information, I will visit this interesting village. Cheers buddy.
@@BenTheRulesI really appreciate, your effort to go to the village of the Bosnian people! The position of village is similar to the villages of Herzegovina. Thank you once again.
@@bidigibih8679 What is wrong with you bro why you spreading such comments. You are pressed about stuff for no reason. Bosnian is Bosnian, doesn't matter where he migrated and how many generations ago. Muslim is muslim.
You can find Bosnians everywhere in the world, we are a suffering people for the last 150 years. You can visit Albania, there are Bosnian villages there too, they still managed to preserve the Bosnian language. Under the dictator you were only allowed to speak Albanian, could be hard punished if you speak another language
I enjoy watching your videos. It's very interesting to see different regions of Balkan I would never get a chance to visit. One suggestion: you can start a video with a compilation of highlights of the video like @PeterSantenello does. It could improve the engagement rate. Keep up the good work!
24:33 The guy says "We came here in 1390 (but it doesn't make sense to me so he probably meant to say 1890) about 130-140 years ago. Our grandfathers came here, from Herzegovina." 26:09 He says he's "retired (Emekli)"
@@bidigibih8679your out here commenting on every post about this. Your doing more hate than anyone if anything. Their blood is still us. Just like Bosnian that moved to Germany America etc. We need allies not foes my friend especially in today’s world.

Up until Congress of Berlin in 1878 or administratively until 1908-9, Bosniaks from Sanjak of Novi Pazar (today: Sandzak) were also Bosnians, when it was seperated from Bosnian Vilayet and given to newly formed Kosovo Vilayet. Worth mentioning is that western parts of today's Sandzak, were part of Bosnian Kingdom up until the city of Sjenica, before it ever became it's own Sanjak, belonging to Bosnian Eyalet.
Evo par činjenica za bolje razumijevanje razvoja Teritorije DANAŠNJE Republike Bosne i Hercegovine: Mislim da povelje Bana Mateja Ninoslava (pisane od 1232 do 1234 Dubrovniku) dovoljno govore o tome kako su tačno smatrani stanovnici tadašnje bosne (Vrhbosne oko današnjeg Sarajeva) još u 13 vijeku. Čak se i to u posljednih 20 godina od strane Bosanaca-Muslimana odnosno Bošnjaka pokušava na sve moguće načine osporavati pa se pokušava na raznorazne načine nanovo protumačiti. Ali hajmo ovako: Originalna Bosna na koju se pozivaju Bosanci-Muslimani / Muhamedanci / Bošnjaci je okolina današnjeg Sarajeva gdje su i bili ti takozvani “dobri Bošnjani” Kulina Bana (svakako je glupo o tome raspravljati ali hajde neka bude za primjerak). Oblasti Hercegovine, Usore, Soli, istočne BiH itd. su svakako bile u potpunom sastavu Raške države (tj. Srbije Vlastimirovića, Vojisavljevića-Vukanovića i Nemanjića) od njenog prvog pominjana tačno 822. godine u franačkim analima (napisanih od Einhard-a) pa sve do 1135-te godine dok se ne gubi kod Mađara tj. u njihovoj Kraljevini. Te Zemlje su po zapisima većinski naseljavali Srbi sto je apsolutno nesporno. Kao što rekoh: Povelja Ninoslava apsolutno sve govori kao i kraljevski potpis Kralja Tvrtka. Bio je izricito kralj Srbalja a ne i Bošnjana ili bilo čega drugog. Činjenica je da je u politici i državu uopšteno naslijedio svijesno Nemanjiće i gotovo sve njihove postupke i način vladanja preuzeo jer je se smatrao sljedbenikom te drzave. Car Dušan je, kada je krunisan za Cara, zauzevši teritoriju od Dunava do Svijete Gore u Grčkoj, dodao svojoj tituli pored Cara Srba, i Car Grka i Arbanasa. Dakle bio je svijestan toga da su se u njegovom Carstvu nalazili narodi pored Srba kao Što glasi titula “Car Srba, Grka i Arbanasa i Pomorja i Epira i Tesalije i zapadnih strana” i svašta još nešto. Kada sagledamo sada tu situaciju: Kralj Tvrtko kao sljedbenik (bukvalno srpskih careva) se kruniše kao kralj SRBA i to je to. Mislim da je sasvim nesumnjivo pod kojim imenom je tada bio poznat narod u Bosni. Što se tiče kraljevske titulacije Kotromanića, ona je jako bitna. Ime države nije uvijek jednako sa Narodom koji u njoj živi. Najbolji dokaz je Tvrtko Kotromanić i svi njegovi Nasljenici do Kralja Stjepana Tomaševića. Istoriografija bosanska ili “bošnjacka” pa se prvenstveno bavi demantovanjem srpske istoriografije i novo-tumačenjem starih zapisa ili dokumenata. Primjer: Nada Klaić koja za Ajnhardove Anale govori o kojekakvom mjestu “Srb” i da se ne radi o Srbima koje spominje Ajnhard nego o mjestu Srb u kojem zive Bošnjani i Hrvati. Bosanskoj istoriografiji, otkad postoji (30 godina), je najveći cilj da pokuša da demantuje postojanje Srba i Hrvata unutar granica današnje Bosne i Hercegovine. Današnja istocna i zapadna Hercegovina i Podrinje je bilo vijekovima potpuno sastavni dio srpske države ili bolje reci “Srbskoj Zeml” sto bi rekli Nemanjići, Hrebeljanovici, Mrnjavcevici, Kotromanići…i tako dalje i to je apsolutno NESUMNJIVA istorijska činjenica. Već ovdje ta priča pada u vodu da Srbi nikakve veze nemaju sa bosnom, imaju i to kako. Činjenice su navedene gore. I da dodam jos nesto: što je za bošnjačku istoriografiju vjerovatno jako razočaravajuće jeste da činjenica, da čak i zapadna istoriografija ne piše ništa drugačije od onoga sto piše srpska. Kako je rekao njemački istoricar gospodin Eduard Mühle u svojoj knjizi “slawen” (slaveni): “Srednjovijekovna srpska državnost Kraljevinom Bosnom od 1377-te dozivljava još jedan kratak uspon u svojoj istoriji dok 1463-te konačno pada pod osmansku vlast”. Da ponovim: NJEMAČKI istoricar. Uopšte sam se posljednih 20 godina, kroz privilegiju koju imam živjeti na Zapadu, bavio raznoraznim izvorima i radovima o istoriji jugoistočne evrope, naročito prostora bivše jugoslavije. Jako je interesantno to što se istoriografija Zapada poklapa jednako sa većinom srpskih istoričara, vjerovatno najjačeg ikada gospodina Vladimira Ćorovića, rođenog Mostarca. Zato se ne može reći da je ovo sve "propaganda srpska". Plus što ja i moji lično i nismo iz Srbije nego iz Hercegovine porijeklom. U stanju smo ispratiti naše pretke do 1650-tih godina, Trebinje. Srpsko-pravoslavna porodica Miletić, naselili s kraja 18 vijeka današnju bosansku Krajinu, sklonivši se od Turaka iz Hercegovine. Cijelo Selo došlo iz okoline Trebinja, i dan danas slavimo Đurđevdan. Bili smo prisiljeni da pobijegnemo od Turaka zarad sukoba i ubistva tadašnjeg lokalnog Paše kod Trebinja. Todorovići, Kusići, Čerekovići, Miletići, Tubaci....pravoslvni Srbi iz istočne Hercegovine. Sjetih se još jednog članka sa jednog foruma “historije bosne i bošnjaka: “Slavenska plemena koja su naselila bosnu prozvaše se Bošnjani”. Ovdje se indirektno potvrđuje da je djelimično porijeklo “Bošnjana” srednjeg vijeka srpsko-hrvatsko. Zapravo svi izvori tog doba, kada je bila ogromna najezda slavenskih plemena sa sjevera na jug, prije svega vizantijski i franački izvori 9. I 10 vijeka, ne navode nikakve Bošnjane ili neki sličan termin. Prostor od Istre do skadarskog jezera (uključujući zagorje tih zemalja) su naselili pored Srba i Hrvata i mnogobrojna druga Slavenska plemena koja su nestala i pretopila se u Srbe i Hrvate. Dalmacija, Slavonija, Zahumlje, Paganija, Travunija, Duklja, Bosna, Raška: To su oblasti koje se javljaju u doba od 9. do 11. vijeka i tim oblastima vladaju Srbi i Hrvati. Među zapisima Naroda koji su migrirali nema Bosanskog / Bošnjakog etnosa, nema Kulinovih Bošnjana. Oblast Bosne je dobila ime po rijeci Bosni a ne po Narodu koji je nju naselio. I moram te upozoriti: Moraš razlikovati o kojoj teritoriji tacno pricaš. Ja govorim o nekadašnjij teritoriji DANAŠNJE republike BiH. Naprimjer slavensko pleme Sorba kod Dresdena u njemačkoj tu živi najmanje 1400 godina i do dan danas su ostali Sorbi i ako su faktički u “tuđoj” državi što naročito za Srbe i Hrvate ne možemo reći. Bosna i Hercegovina je s punim pravom srpska i hrvatska isto onoliko koliko je danas bošnjačka. Hercegovina je čisto srpska teritorija i kao takva je već cijeli Milenijum i ako se više ne nalazi u Srbiji. Opet primjer: Eparhija humska. Ali dobro, dovoljno smo polemisali oko teritorije današnje republike BiH. Apsolutno je nelogično pokušavati na bilo koji način demantovati pomenute činjenice koje su dovoljno dokumentirane. Nego, reci: Šta kažeš za Srbe islamske vjeroispovijesti poput Saliha Selimovića, Mesu Selimovića, Osmana Đikića, Omer Paše Latasa…? Veziri: Mehmed Paša Sokolović, srpskog porijekla pravoslavne porodice iz visegrada pod čiju inicijativu je obnovljena srpska patrijaršija. Rustem Paša, hrvatski vezir? Da li znaš da većina današnjih muslimana u BiH vodi porijeklo iz hercegovine i srbije, nekadašnjih srpsko-pravoslavnih porodica? Danas postoje muslimani čak sa prezimenom Vuković (kao primjer), Vukovicć kao prezime koje vodi porijeklo od srpkih plemena iz stare Crne Gore. Možda su Bošnjani čak i postojali nekad kao kasniji ogranak srpsko-hrvatski, ko zna. Ali to današnji muslimani definitivno nisu. Porijeklo je jako lako ispratiti.
@@Stalker950-l3x Čim sam pročitao srpsku laž i glupost kako je navodno vezir Mehmed Paša Sokolović "iz srpske porodice" (a otac mu se zvao Džemaludin Sinan-Beg lol) obnovio Srpsku patrijaršiju i to lupetanje za "srbe islamske vjeroispovjesti" shvatio sam koja je dijagnoza u pitanju :D Mehmed je postao vezir tek nakon što je patrijaršija obnovljena, tako da je to laž i obična srpska izmišljotina, a Islamski srbi i "muhamedanci" kako vi pogrdno zovete muslimane, ne postoje, svi koje si nabrojao nisu religiozni. Srbin je uvijek bio samo onaj ko je srpske vjere, prestanite više lagati sebe.
I could've saved you the hours-long trip.. Pretty sure there continues to be a relatively large Bosniak population in Pendik, which isn't very far outside of Istanbul. But I suppose you were totally down for a little bit of a goose chase from the start -- that's half the fun of traveling. But yeah, i'm pretty sure there are a bunch of Bosniaks (Sandzaklije, more specifically) in Pendik to this very day, owing to multiple waves of immigration dating back to at least the late-19th century.
@@uzeirdautbegovic1148 the ethnic composition of a place like Novi Pazar is complex and layered, and features the same sort of mixing and blending of populations (both at the genetic, haplogroup level as well as the macro, cultural, group level) that one would expect to find anywhere else in the world. I know plenty of folk from that area who have a traceable ancestral link back to various parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as people who have very typical Slavic surnames indicating either Catholic or Orthodox origins but whose ancestors converted to Islam generations ago. It's not a cut and dry "Sandzaklije are Albanians" story... Those sorts of nationalist narratives are unfortunately all too familiar in that part of the world.
@@WordToMomsYo Most of people that settled in Novi Pazar hail from tribes like Kuči or Vasojevići, those are Montenegrin Albanian tribes, very few come from Bosnia, I know it is more complex than that but generally they (Sandžaklijas) are mostly Albanians.
@@smrdljivivlah5879 Tall? Sandžaklijas are montenegrin Albanians, ask them of their origin and most of them know the tribe they came from, just like the rest of montenegro.
That part during final boss fight when you said that your friends didn't know was actually in turkish language. That's why they don't know. Also when he mentioned place in Herzegovina and you translated as Gradska, that was wrong. He mentioned Gacko. Small place in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Interesting video, some of those you interviewed are from Sandzak (a region where Bosniaks live and is located between Serbia and Montenegro). From the beginning of the 19th century until the end of the 20th century, several migrations took place towards Turkey from the direction of the Balkans. Depending on which village you come across, their ability to speak Bosnian also depends. In Istanbul, in the Bosniak majority districts of Pendik and Bayrampaşa/Yıldırım, you can find many Bosniaks who migrated during Yugoslavia (1950s and 1960s) and whose mother tongue is Bosnian. You can hear a lot more from them because they speak the language fluently, unlike those who came in the 19th century. In addition to Istanbul, there are many villages in the Marmara region as well as in the big cities such as Izmir, Sakarya, Edirne where you have many Bosniaks.
To everyone who's saying 'that's all serbian' please educate yourself first. Bosnian had with it's Bosančica and Arebica two own alphabets. In the 1800 they began to mix Latin and Bosančica. The Arebica disappeared after the Ottoman empire. Its a fact that Serbs have lots of turkish words in their so called serbian language. 😊
Of course there were Bosnians/Serbs who moved to Istanbul or Anatolia for various reasons during Ottoman times but the first wave of migration from Bosnia to Turkey took place after the annexation of Bosnia & Herzegovina by the Austria Hungarian Empire towards the end of 19th century. My father side also came in that wave from Mostar and settled in a Bosnian village near Izmir. They must have feared a war or a lot of violence would happen, otherwise they would not leave their ancestors lands. You can find large Bosnian populations in in towns like Istanbul, Sakarya, Izmir, Bursa Canakkale etc, basically European part of Turkey and Western/North Western Turkey. It is estimated that at least 1 million people in Turkey have Bosnian origin.
25:48 He said iz Gacko. It's in eastern hercegovina near Montenegro. It's where my family roots and dedo is originally from. I know all the surnames from Gacko, Should have asked for his name. In gacko serbs and bosniaks always fighting eachother, all the way to WW1 and before.
ne samo u prvom svjetskom ratu i u drugom svjetskom ratu,ima poznata prica na kraju drugog svjetskkog rata cetnici opkolili Fazlagicu kulu i nisu je mogli osvojit i onda cetnici dozivali Bosnjake i govorili im da je rat zavrsio da izadju iz kule a Bosnjaci im odgovorili mozda je za vas zavrsio 2 svjetskl rat ali za nas nije dok god ima cetnika😀
Wow what an interesting place!! Amazing bro. And looking forward hopefully to a Bulgaria overnight train video... We did the trip in September and was amazing!!
According to the Bosniak entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, the first preserved use of "Bosniak" in English was by English diplomat and historian Paul Rycaut in 1680 as Bosnack, cognate with post-classical Latin Bosniacus (1682 or earlier), French Bosniaque (1695 or earlier) or German Bosniak (1737 or earlier).[15] The modern spelling is contained in the 1836 Penny Cyclopaedia V. 231/1: "The inhabitants of Bosnia are composed of Bosniaks, a race of Sclavonian origin".[16] In the Slavic languages, -ak is a common suffix appended to words to create a masculine noun, for instance also found in the ethnonym of Poles (Polak) and Slovaks (Slovák). Coca is older than serbized orthodox bosniak, by teofil petranovic since 19th
The Bosniaks were originally Croats that escaped from Bosnia to get away from the Ottoman Turks and who settled in Hungary in the 16th century. Those Croats are still called Bosniaks in Hungary today (Hungarian: Bosnyákok).
Great video. As for Serbian colonies in eastern Ukraine and Hungary, there are so much Bosnian influence on Ottoman Empire (ca fifty Great Vezirs), and many bosnian muslims (then called muslims) came during second half of 19century and before ww1. And actually there are some 60 000 with serbian ancestry in Turkey.
One part of my family decided to leave for Turkey in the face of the Austro-Hungarian mandate in Bosnia, the other part stayed. As an Avdić whose grandparents stayed in Bosnia, it kind of feel proud that the first man who sat down to speak to you, is one of my distant cousins. Great video, man!
Translations of the Turkish parts: (Minute 24:36) -Turkish: ''1390'da geldik, 130-140 sene var. Dedelerimiz geldi buraya, Hersek'den geldiler bizimkiler, Hersek'den geldiler.'' -English: ''We came in 1390, it's been 130-140 years. Our grandfather came here, our ones came from Herzegovina, they came from Herzegovina.'' (I think he meant 1890, he most likely misspoke) (Minute 26:08) -Turkish: 'Emekli' -English: 'Retired' (He probably couldn't think of the Bosnian word so he added a Turkish word in, he simply said the word 'retired' as in 'retired from employment'
If you have more time in Turkey next time visit the district of Karamürsel (province of Kocaeli), a lot of Bosnians there, specially in the villages. About 2 hrs from Istanbul, depending on the route you take.
Very interesting story mate. I m half Serbian Herzegovinian and half Maltese. Somehow I was imagining what will happen to my family tree since I m born & bred in Malta 🇲🇹 and have preserved our Serbian culture within our family. I know the language, traditions etc. Would be amazed if after 100 years my ancestors would be able to continue speaking Serbian, know when our SLAVA is, where my father and grand fathers etc are from in Herzegovina etc ... People should always be proud of their own heritage. I regularely visit the Balkans got family in Herzegovina & Serbia hence why I speak good Serbian and love visiting my roots and family over there. Cant deny I feel Balkan and have the mentality too and when I m there I feel home too. Herzegovina (Mostar) where we re from & Malta have similar climates too. Also I look Balkan physically haha and I love it when I m in Malta and since there are lots of Balkan people working here we sort of recognize each other from our faces etc ...Keep doing these videos man! Pozdrav sa Malte!
Hallo bosnian brother. At 25:50 the guy mention that his ancestors are from Hercegovina...not Gradska ( as you translated). It is small town named Gacko. Thank you for this video and you speak bosnian very well
Hi ,manly people for peripheral arias of B&H migrate to Turkey due to AustroHungarian advances first group were Krajišnici second one is Hercegovci! That guy mention clearly his grand father came from Gradska Hercegovina. Well there is village in Ljubuski municipality with name Gradska that’s only village in municipality that has Muslim habitants the rest of municipality is Catholic Croats . I hope this can be helpful to you for further conclusion . Best regards.
Half of my mothers family emigrated to Turkey around 140 years ago, after Austro-Hungarian empire took over Bosnia. They were afraid that Austria would force them to convert to Christianity, kill them and strip their wealth and land. Of course, non of this happened to the Bosniaks that stayed in Bosnia. On the contrary, once thing settled down, Austrian Empire treated our people with dignity and respect. Bosnia has seen some major economic and lifestyle development during their reign... I think that those that emigrated for Turkey, left out of fear and uncertany. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Veliki pozdrav Benjamine
24:35 Brother i asked my turkish friend, he told me that he only repeated what he told you in bosnian. That they (his grandparents) came 130-140 Years ago from Herzegovina.
I haven't got the will to go through all the comments now, so I don't know if anyone already referred to the penultimate part when you speak to the elderly bosian man. He starts speaking bosnian and just continues with turkish in the middle of the sentence. So, nobody can understand that unless speaking turkish too.
Can you please name it the village that you visited and the caffee bar, because I wish to visit the place. I am bosnian and I have studied turkish for 5 years, and I would go and take some notes about history and migrations of people from Balkan❤
Jeste, bezao narod od Turaka na sve strane, Srbi su dosli i do iznad Budimpeste. Ovi nisu bezali ni od koga nego su isli tamo gde im je bilo bolje u to vreme, u maticu Tursku.

Very interesting. They took the Muslim religion while being in the Balkans, then they went to Turkey but they're still somewhat keeping their Balkan roots.
Грешка друже то су потурчени Срби ,у Турској имаш око осам милиона потурчени Срба
@justseven3487 Well, it's slightly more complicated than that. Bosnia spent 5 centuries under Ottoman rule and with the downfall of the empire and the retreat of Turks, some Muslims followed and migrated to Turkey and Austria was granted then good part of balkans, becouse they fell behind on all the imperialistic chase of the time and had no colonies on other continents, so a concession in their favor was made by other european powers of the time. I'm not deep into history of the time, but bosnian highschool text books never mention any persecutions of muslims, rather state that some weren't comfortable with change of power and feared potential persecutions or they already had family members in Turkey and they joined them. Austria had a strong state and laws and treated their citizens equally, so even Muslims that stayed prospered under their rule. My sister in law is Bulgarian and I have friends from Romania and what always amazes me is that they never call Muslims living in their country Muslims, but use term Turks instead, but I came to know that they are actually of turkish descent, even speak the language 😂. Bosnian Muslims are mostly local converts of 6 centuries ago and even before then Bosnia was a multireligiouse society (Catholics, Orthodox and Bogumil) and at some point Bogumil just got extinct (only a few hundred of engraved stones they left us with) and historians hypothese that they most probably converted to Islam in mass and Bosnia is the only country on the balkan that accounts for over 50% of Muslim population.

Moj deda je upoznao Bošnjake iz Turske, tokom rada u Iraku, 1984-5. godine. Mnogi su radili teške poslove i bili dobri i vredni ljudi. Jako su voleli našu muziku, pa im je deda kupovao kasete u Jugoslaviji se i donosilo. Žalili su se tada da su kao doseljenici bili loše tretirani u Turskoj. Mnogi od njih su živeli u siromašnim četvrtima gradova. Danas su potpuno asimilovani i imena su im primenjena. U Turskoj nema manjina. Svi moraju biti Turci. Svi mi smo isti narod, koji je podeljen zbog interesa velikih sila i religija. Kada slušam ove stare, kao svoju babu i dedu da vidim. Tuga je velika šta je urađeno i koliko smo se međusobno ubijali!

One of the reasons why there are millions of Bosniaks in Turkey is the Ottoman-Russian war. The Russian administration of that period committed genocide against hundreds of thousands of Muslims, such as Turkish,Bosnian Albanian,Pomak, living in the Balkans.

Up until Congress of Berlin in 1878 or administratively until 1908-9, Bosniaks from Sanjak of Novi Pazar (today: Sandzak) were also Bosnians, when it was seperated from Bosnian Vilayet and given to newly formed Kosovo Vilayet.
Worth mentioning is that western parts of today's Sandzak, were part of Bosnian Kingdom up until the city of Sjenica, before it ever became it's own Sanjak, belonging to Bosnian Eyalet.
Evo par činjenica za bolje razumijevanje razvoja Teritorije DANAŠNJE Republike Bosne i Hercegovine:
Mislim da povelje Bana Mateja Ninoslava (pisane od 1232 do 1234 Dubrovniku) dovoljno govore o tome kako su tačno smatrani stanovnici tadašnje bosne (Vrhbosne oko današnjeg Sarajeva) još u 13 vijeku. Čak se i to u posljednih 20 godina od strane Bosanaca-Muslimana odnosno Bošnjaka pokušava na sve moguće načine osporavati pa se pokušava na raznorazne načine nanovo protumačiti.
Ali hajmo ovako: Originalna Bosna na koju se pozivaju Bosanci-Muslimani / Muhamedanci / Bošnjaci je okolina današnjeg Sarajeva gdje su i bili ti takozvani “dobri Bošnjani” Kulina Bana (svakako je glupo o tome raspravljati ali hajde neka bude za primjerak). Oblasti Hercegovine, Usore, Soli, istočne BiH itd. su svakako bile u potpunom sastavu Raške države (tj. Srbije Vlastimirovića, Vojisavljevića-Vukanovića i Nemanjića) od njenog prvog pominjana tačno 822. godine u franačkim analima (napisanih od Einhard-a) pa sve do 1135-te godine dok se ne gubi kod Mađara tj. u njihovoj Kraljevini. Te Zemlje su po zapisima većinski naseljavali Srbi sto je apsolutno nesporno. Kao što rekoh: Povelja Ninoslava apsolutno sve govori kao i kraljevski potpis Kralja Tvrtka. Bio je izricito kralj Srbalja a ne i Bošnjana ili bilo čega drugog. Činjenica je da je u politici i državu uopšteno naslijedio svijesno Nemanjiće i gotovo sve njihove postupke i način vladanja preuzeo jer je se smatrao sljedbenikom te drzave. Car Dušan je, kada je krunisan za Cara, zauzevši teritoriju od Dunava do Svijete Gore u Grčkoj, dodao svojoj tituli pored Cara Srba, i Car Grka i Arbanasa. Dakle bio je svijestan toga da su se u njegovom Carstvu nalazili narodi pored Srba kao Što glasi titula “Car Srba, Grka i Arbanasa i Pomorja i Epira i Tesalije i zapadnih strana” i svašta još nešto.
Kada sagledamo sada tu situaciju: Kralj Tvrtko kao sljedbenik (bukvalno srpskih careva) se kruniše kao kralj SRBA i to je to. Mislim da je sasvim nesumnjivo pod kojim imenom je tada bio poznat narod u Bosni.
Što se tiče kraljevske titulacije Kotromanića, ona je jako bitna. Ime države nije uvijek jednako sa Narodom koji u njoj živi. Najbolji dokaz je Tvrtko Kotromanić i svi njegovi Nasljenici do Kralja Stjepana Tomaševića.
Istoriografija bosanska ili “bošnjacka” pa se prvenstveno bavi demantovanjem srpske istoriografije i novo-tumačenjem starih zapisa ili dokumenata. Primjer: Nada Klaić koja za Ajnhardove Anale govori o kojekakvom mjestu “Srb” i da se ne radi o Srbima koje spominje Ajnhard nego o mjestu Srb u kojem zive Bošnjani i Hrvati. Bosanskoj istoriografiji, otkad postoji (30 godina), je najveći cilj da pokuša da demantuje postojanje Srba i Hrvata unutar granica današnje Bosne i Hercegovine.
Današnja istocna i zapadna Hercegovina i Podrinje je bilo vijekovima potpuno sastavni dio srpske države ili bolje reci “Srbskoj Zeml” sto bi rekli Nemanjići, Hrebeljanovici, Mrnjavcevici, Kotromanići…i tako dalje i to je apsolutno NESUMNJIVA istorijska činjenica. Već ovdje ta priča pada u vodu da Srbi nikakve veze nemaju sa bosnom, imaju i to kako. Činjenice su navedene gore.
I da dodam jos nesto: što je za bošnjačku istoriografiju vjerovatno jako razočaravajuće jeste da činjenica, da čak i zapadna istoriografija ne piše ništa drugačije od onoga sto piše srpska. Kako je rekao njemački istoricar gospodin Eduard Mühle u svojoj knjizi “slawen” (slaveni): “Srednjovijekovna srpska državnost Kraljevinom Bosnom od 1377-te dozivljava još jedan kratak uspon u svojoj istoriji dok 1463-te konačno pada pod osmansku vlast”. Da ponovim: NJEMAČKI istoricar.
Uopšte sam se posljednih 20 godina, kroz privilegiju koju imam živjeti na Zapadu, bavio raznoraznim izvorima i radovima o istoriji jugoistočne evrope, naročito prostora bivše jugoslavije. Jako je interesantno to što se istoriografija Zapada poklapa jednako sa većinom srpskih istoričara, vjerovatno najjačeg ikada gospodina Vladimira Ćorovića, rođenog Mostarca. Zato se ne može reći da je ovo sve "propaganda srpska". Plus što ja i moji lično i nismo iz Srbije nego iz Hercegovine porijeklom. U stanju smo ispratiti naše pretke do 1650-tih godina, Trebinje. Srpsko-pravoslavna porodica Miletić, naselili s kraja 18 vijeka današnju bosansku Krajinu, sklonivši se od Turaka iz Hercegovine. Cijelo Selo došlo iz okoline Trebinja, i dan danas slavimo Đurđevdan. Bili smo prisiljeni da pobijegnemo od Turaka zarad sukoba i ubistva tadašnjeg lokalnog Paše kod Trebinja. Todorovići, Kusići, Čerekovići, Miletići, Tubaci....pravoslvni Srbi iz istočne Hercegovine.
Sjetih se još jednog članka sa jednog foruma “historije bosne i bošnjaka: “Slavenska plemena koja su naselila bosnu prozvaše se Bošnjani”. Ovdje se indirektno potvrđuje da je djelimično porijeklo “Bošnjana” srednjeg vijeka srpsko-hrvatsko. Zapravo svi izvori tog doba, kada je bila ogromna najezda slavenskih plemena sa sjevera na jug, prije svega vizantijski i franački izvori 9. I 10 vijeka, ne navode nikakve Bošnjane ili neki sličan termin. Prostor od Istre do skadarskog jezera (uključujući zagorje tih zemalja) su naselili pored Srba i Hrvata i mnogobrojna druga Slavenska plemena koja su nestala i pretopila se u Srbe i Hrvate. Dalmacija, Slavonija, Zahumlje, Paganija, Travunija, Duklja, Bosna, Raška: To su oblasti koje se javljaju u doba od 9. do 11. vijeka i tim oblastima vladaju Srbi i Hrvati. Među zapisima Naroda koji su migrirali nema Bosanskog / Bošnjakog etnosa, nema Kulinovih Bošnjana. Oblast Bosne je dobila ime po rijeci Bosni a ne po Narodu koji je nju naselio. I moram te upozoriti: Moraš razlikovati o kojoj teritoriji tacno pricaš. Ja govorim o nekadašnjij teritoriji DANAŠNJE republike BiH. Naprimjer slavensko pleme Sorba kod Dresdena u njemačkoj tu živi najmanje 1400 godina i do dan danas su ostali Sorbi i ako su faktički u “tuđoj” državi što naročito za Srbe i Hrvate ne možemo reći. Bosna i Hercegovina je s punim pravom srpska i hrvatska isto onoliko koliko je danas bošnjačka. Hercegovina je čisto srpska teritorija i kao takva je već cijeli Milenijum i ako se više ne nalazi u Srbiji. Opet primjer: Eparhija humska.
Ali dobro, dovoljno smo polemisali oko teritorije današnje republike BiH. Apsolutno je nelogično pokušavati na bilo koji način demantovati pomenute činjenice koje su dovoljno dokumentirane.
Nego, reci: Šta kažeš za Srbe islamske vjeroispovijesti poput Saliha Selimovića, Mesu Selimovića, Osmana Đikića, Omer Paše Latasa…?
Veziri: Mehmed Paša Sokolović, srpskog porijekla pravoslavne porodice iz visegrada pod čiju inicijativu je obnovljena srpska patrijaršija. Rustem Paša, hrvatski vezir?
Da li znaš da većina današnjih muslimana u BiH vodi porijeklo iz hercegovine i srbije, nekadašnjih srpsko-pravoslavnih porodica? Danas postoje muslimani čak sa prezimenom Vuković (kao primjer), Vukovicć kao prezime koje vodi porijeklo od srpkih plemena iz stare Crne Gore. Možda su Bošnjani čak i postojali nekad kao kasniji ogranak srpsko-hrvatski, ko zna. Ali to današnji muslimani definitivno nisu. Porijeklo je jako lako ispratiti.

Hi, when you go back to 🇧🇦 visit Mostar, Blagaj (Tekija) you will not regret it.
I could've saved you the hours-long trip.. Pretty sure there continues to be a relatively large Bosniak population in Pendik, which isn't very far outside of Istanbul. But I suppose you were totally down for a little bit of a goose chase from the start -- that's half the fun of traveling. But yeah, i'm pretty sure there are a bunch of Bosniaks (Sandzaklije, more specifically) in Pendik to this very day, owing to multiple waves of immigration dating back to at least the late-19th century.
Yep, but to be frank Sandžaklijas are ethnic Albanians and don't really have a connection to Bosnia, therefore not "Bosanci"
@@uzeirdautbegovic1148 the ethnic composition of a place like Novi Pazar is complex and layered, and features the same sort of mixing and blending of populations (both at the genetic, haplogroup level as well as the macro, cultural, group level) that one would expect to find anywhere else in the world. I know plenty of folk from that area who have a traceable ancestral link back to various parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as people who have very typical Slavic surnames indicating either Catholic or Orthodox origins but whose ancestors converted to Islam generations ago. It's not a cut and dry "Sandzaklije are Albanians" story... Those sorts of nationalist narratives are unfortunately all too familiar in that part of the world.
@@WordToMomsYo Most of people that settled in Novi Pazar hail from tribes like Kuči or Vasojevići, those are Montenegrin Albanian tribes, very few come from Bosnia, I know it is more complex than that but generally they (Sandžaklijas) are mostly Albanians.

That part during final boss fight when you said that your friends didn't know was actually in turkish language. That's why they don't know. Also when he mentioned place in Herzegovina and you translated as Gradska, that was wrong. He mentioned Gacko. Small place in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bas je fin kao osoba!
Interesting video, some of those you interviewed are from Sandzak (a region where Bosniaks live and is located between Serbia and Montenegro). From the beginning of the 19th century until the end of the 20th century, several migrations took place towards Turkey from the direction of the Balkans. Depending on which village you come across, their ability to speak Bosnian also depends. In Istanbul, in the Bosniak majority districts of Pendik and Bayrampaşa/Yıldırım, you can find many Bosniaks who migrated during Yugoslavia (1950s and 1960s) and whose mother tongue is Bosnian. You can hear a lot more from them because they speak the language fluently, unlike those who came in the 19th century. In addition to Istanbul, there are many villages in the Marmara region as well as in the big cities such as Izmir, Sakarya, Edirne where you have many Bosniaks.

To everyone who's saying 'that's all serbian' please educate yourself first. Bosnian had with it's Bosančica and Arebica two own alphabets. In the 1800 they began to mix Latin and Bosančica. The Arebica disappeared after the Ottoman empire.
Its a fact that Serbs have lots of turkish words in their so called serbian language. 😊
Good one...
Of course there were Bosnians/Serbs who moved to Istanbul or Anatolia for various reasons during Ottoman times but the first wave of migration from Bosnia to Turkey took place after the annexation of Bosnia & Herzegovina by the Austria Hungarian Empire towards the end of 19th century. My father side also came in that wave from Mostar and settled in a Bosnian village near Izmir. They must have feared a war or a lot of violence would happen, otherwise they would not leave their ancestors lands.
You can find large Bosnian populations in in towns like Istanbul, Sakarya, Izmir, Bursa Canakkale etc, basically European part of Turkey and Western/North Western Turkey. It is estimated that at least 1 million people in Turkey have Bosnian origin.

Benjo legendoo, hajde bujrum dodji u Tesanj sljedece!

According to the Bosniak entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, the first preserved use of "Bosniak" in English was by English diplomat and historian Paul Rycaut in 1680 as Bosnack, cognate with post-classical Latin Bosniacus (1682 or earlier), French Bosniaque (1695 or earlier) or German Bosniak (1737 or earlier).[15] The modern spelling is contained in the 1836 Penny Cyclopaedia V. 231/1: "The inhabitants of Bosnia are composed of Bosniaks, a race of Sclavonian origin".[16] In the Slavic languages, -ak is a common suffix appended to words to create a masculine noun, for instance also found in the ethnonym of Poles (Polak) and Slovaks (Slovák).
Coca is older than serbized orthodox bosniak, by teofil petranovic since 19th
The Bosniaks were originally Croats that escaped from Bosnia to get away from the Ottoman Turks and who settled in Hungary in the 16th century. Those Croats are still called Bosniaks in Hungary today (Hungarian: Bosnyákok).
Amazing video, I enjoyed a lot.
Very interesting, first time see your vlog, and I m happy that I discover it,
gotta love your videos keep this up
HVALA i SRETNO BRATE 🙋🏼
You talk very good Bosnian.
Thank you!
Great video. As for Serbian colonies in eastern Ukraine and Hungary, there are so much Bosnian influence on Ottoman Empire (ca fifty Great Vezirs), and many bosnian muslims (then called muslims) came during second half of 19century and before ww1. And actually there are some 60 000 with serbian ancestry in Turkey.
Great stuff brother!! Hvala!
Ben, you are the man. Wondeful vlog. Please give us more precise location od this Ayazna village, Google pretty much gives nothing . Živio brate !

AustroHungary occupied Bosnia&Herzegovina 1878 and that is reason why many Muslims left for Turkey .They didn’t won’t to live under Catholic regime .
About 120,000 Turks and other muslims (local converts) left Bosnia at that time.
One part of my family decided to leave for Turkey in the face of the Austro-Hungarian mandate in Bosnia, the other part stayed. As an Avdić whose grandparents stayed in Bosnia, it kind of feel proud that the first man who sat down to speak to you, is one of my distant cousins. Great video, man!
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this video...
Translations of the Turkish parts:
(Minute 24:36)
-Turkish: ''1390'da geldik, 130-140 sene var. Dedelerimiz geldi buraya, Hersek'den geldiler bizimkiler, Hersek'den geldiler.''
-English: ''We came in 1390, it's been 130-140 years. Our grandfather came here, our ones came from Herzegovina, they came from Herzegovina.'' (I think he meant 1890, he most likely misspoke)
(Minute 26:08)
-Turkish: 'Emekli'
-English: 'Retired' (He probably couldn't think of the Bosnian word so he added a Turkish word in, he simply said the word 'retired' as in 'retired from employment'
Love your video.. littlebit of history in it too
You are legend brother much som from Bosniaks
Pozdrav za Bosnu i hercegovinu,👏👍👍😊
Sretno biloooo
Wow, amazing channel and content, keep it up !! :D
23:37 This man is from Bosnia, speaks perfectly 👌 Gastarbajter verovatno 😺
If you have more time in Turkey next time visit the district of Karamürsel (province of Kocaeli), a lot of Bosnians there, specially in the villages. About 2 hrs from Istanbul, depending on the route you take.
Amazing video.
Bosanaca I ljudi iz Bosne imaš bona svugdje u Svjetu
Very interesting story mate. I m half Serbian Herzegovinian and half Maltese. Somehow I was imagining what will happen to my family tree since I m born & bred in Malta 🇲🇹 and have preserved our Serbian culture within our family. I know the language, traditions etc. Would be amazed if after 100 years my ancestors would be able to continue speaking Serbian, know when our SLAVA is, where my father and grand fathers etc are from in Herzegovina etc ... People should always be proud of their own heritage. I regularely visit the Balkans got family in Herzegovina & Serbia hence why I speak good Serbian and love visiting my roots and family over there. Cant deny I feel Balkan and have the mentality too and when I m there I feel home too. Herzegovina (Mostar) where we re from & Malta have similar climates too. Also I look Balkan physically haha and I love it when I m in Malta and since there are lots of Balkan people working here we sort of recognize each other from our faces etc ...Keep doing these videos man! Pozdrav sa Malte!
Pozdrav!
Ima nas mnogo na Malti. Pozdrav.
Pozdravi Semira Osmanagića i odjebite, obadvojica!
I live in the US but come to Sarajevo Bosnia every summer if you are in the city this summer would love to meet up
❤ Salamu alaykum from Germany
We are all Bosniaks. Tvrtko conquerred most of ex yugoslavia. Wherever you find stecaks that is Bosnian land
Hallo bosnian brother. At 25:50 the guy mention that his ancestors are from Hercegovina...not Gradska ( as you translated). It is small town named Gacko. Thank you for this video and you speak bosnian very well
Mozda je Gradiska
Hi ,manly people for peripheral arias of B&H migrate to Turkey due to AustroHungarian advances first group were Krajišnici second one is Hercegovci! That guy mention clearly his grand father came from Gradska Hercegovina. Well there is village in Ljubuski municipality with name Gradska that’s only village in municipality that has Muslim habitants the rest of municipality is Catholic Croats . I hope this can be helpful to you for further conclusion . Best regards.
Half of my mothers family emigrated to Turkey around 140 years ago, after Austro-Hungarian empire took over Bosnia. They were afraid that Austria would force them to convert to Christianity, kill them and strip their wealth and land. Of course, non of this happened to the Bosniaks that stayed in Bosnia. On the contrary, once thing settled down, Austrian Empire treated our people with dignity and respect. Bosnia has seen some major economic and lifestyle development during their reign... I think that those that emigrated for Turkey, left out of fear and uncertany. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Veliki pozdrav Benjamine
The Turks were welcoming Muslim Bosnians into predominantly Greek areas in order to increase Muslim presence and create conflicts.

I know Avdic people from Bileca here in the states as well Bosniaks were expelled from Bileca during the Bosnian war I doubt there are any left.
Bosanaca ima puno gradu Bursi, gradu Istambulu u opštinama Pendik,Bayram Paši, Yeni Bosna, grad İzmir,
It seems to me that they replaced the indigenous Greeks in town with Bosnians, all of the Greek Churches gone as well.
Dobar video hvala na trudu dobro pričaš Bosanski jezik
Benjamine odlicno parlas Bosanski Bravo zato si zasluzio Subscribe
very nice video pozz from serbia
24:35 Brother i asked my turkish friend, he told me that he only repeated what he told you in bosnian. That they (his grandparents) came 130-140 Years ago from Herzegovina.
Pozdrav iz Hercegovine 🇧🇦
I haven't got the will to go through all the comments now, so I don't know if anyone already referred to the penultimate part when you speak to the elderly bosian man. He starts speaking bosnian and just continues with turkish in the middle of the sentence. So, nobody can understand that unless speaking turkish too.
Can you please name it the village that you visited and the caffee bar, because I wish to visit the place. I am bosnian and I have studied turkish for 5 years, and I would go and take some notes about history and migrations of people from Balkan❤
I think it was "Ayazma Köyü Kahvesi" if you put that on google maps you'll see it

Jeste, bezao narod od Turaka na sve strane, Srbi su dosli i do iznad Budimpeste. Ovi nisu bezali ni od koga nego su isli tamo gde im je bilo bolje u to vreme, u maticu Tursku.
Whaaaat yo are not a Bosnian? I was sure you were Bosnian 😁 great Video 👍
Thought the same thing. But take a look at his video from Italy 😉
Admit you are a spy agent
A spy. 😂 Whose spy?
we are everywhere
24:45 he says our grandfathers came in 1890, that it has been 140 years, and that they came from Herzegovina.
This guy must be a spy. An American who speaks Bosnian and just learned it for mo reason?
hahahah not no reason, i have plenty of bosnian friends and i've been traveling there for a few years
