Bosnian Americans are citizens of the United States who are of Bosnian ancestry. They self-identify depending upon religious orientation (see Bosniaks, Bosnian Serbs, and Bosnian Croats), thus the number of Bosnian Americans may actually be much higher than it already is. A majority of Bosnian Americans moved from Bosnia to the United States during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, though there was a sizable Bosnian community prior to that.
