BOSNIAN does exist, because if it didn't I wouldn't be calling myself Bosnian. If you tell people full name of B&H in Chicago they would not understand, but if you tell them Bosnia they get it. I guess "Croat" or "Hrvat" is regional name too. When it comes to Ottoman invasion I guess you never read about rebellions lead by Husein-kapetan Gradaščević. Here is some basic wiki for you.
" Husein-kapetan Gradaščević (31 August 1802 – 17 August 1834) was a Bosniak general who fought for Bosnian autonomy in the Ottoman Empire. He is often referred to as "Zmaj od Bosne", meaning "Dragon of Bosnia". Gradaščević was born in Gradačac in 1802—hence his surname Gradaščević, meaning "of Gradačac"-- and grew up surrounded by a political climate of turmoil in the western reaches of the Ottoman Empire. When his brother Murat was poisoned by a rival in 1821, Gradaščević rose to the head of the Gradačac military captaincy. The young Husein developed a reputation for wise rule and tolerance and soon became one of the most popular figures in Bosnia.
In 1831 Gradaščević was called upon to lead the movement for a Bosnian autonomy. He overthrew the loyalist, vizier, and other anti-rebellion figures, becoming the de facto ruler of the Ottoman Bosnia Province (eyalet) in the process. On July 18 of the same year, Gradaščević met a large force commanded by the grand vizier himself near Štimlje in Kosovo and dealt a heavy defeat to the imperial army (this is sometimes referred to as the "Third battle of Kosovo"). At that point, he decided to turn back from further campaigns and returned to Bosnia where he was proclaimed the new vizier by his soldiers on September 12. By 1832, however, the tide of the rebellion had turned. After a series of smaller clashes, the decisive battle occurred on the 17th and 18th of May outside Sarajevo. Initially successful, the rebels were eventually defeated when Herzegovinian reinforcements arrived and sided with the Sultan."
I am sorry but the facts are there. We Bosnians love freedom just like everyone on Balkan and soon as you get that better quality of life we all will have

when the ottomans conquered bosnia they were converting croatian and serbian population they found there to islam and that's how bosniaks entered the history..bosniaks are mostly islamized bosnian croats and serbs with some minor real turkish remainings that continued to live in bosnia after it was taken from ottoman empire by austria..and I know about Gradašćević he was an interesting person..and about those facts you are only writing some minor important thing that you want to hear and know and about some more important you don't want to think because you know it would prove that you are wrong..think what you want to, I don't want to try to change your wrong history view just please don't write stupid things anymore..
