non-Turks with surname "Turk"!

[Hurrem sultana]

Also, most of those words in the book are not in use anymore.

maybe 20% are still used,and those are the words that are here to stay,words that we do not have any other slavic word for,,or words that we have accepted as "our words"(amidza,dajdza and such)

Serbs and Croats don't use those words. They use Stric and Ujak.

They did, but they replaced it with Stric and Ujak. I don't know why Bosniaks haven't.

If I am not wrong, there was a time when all muslims were called "Turks" by Europeans. Even today, in some latin american countries, arabs -christians or muslims - are called "Turks".

That is true for Bosnia, before 100-150 years or so Muslims were Turks, not only called by others, but by themselves also.


There also another funny thing, most muslims in Bosnia are not actually Bosnian, but Slavonian converts that moved there as a massive population exchange after reconquista of Slavonia province.

That is why almost 100% of people with Bošnjak surname are Croats, because it signifies them as those who came from Bosnia province.


Out of others who left Bosnia even before that, are now Gradišćanski Hrvati, their exodus was from 1st stages ottoman advance in Bosnia


We have surname Turko, and Spahija

Cerkez is also Croatian.

Its exists only among Herzegovinian Croats and Serbs from Croatia, and comes from a specific place from Herzegovina if we are to talk about Herzegovinian Croats. It can be found in Croatia due to migrations from Herzegovina
