Bosniaks are not slavic. Bosniaks are Illyric. Bosniak is not just in Bosnia, but also in Sandzak.

haha Biden actually got it correct

I'm from Bosnia myself and I can say that both Bosnians and Bosniaks are correct.
Historically, Bosnians and Bosniaks have the same meaning but these days because of political reasons that isn't exactly the case.
In the media, the term Bosnians is much more common than Bosniaks so maybe that's why it sounded a bit weird for some people.
You can compare Bosnian and Bosniak to Spanish and Spaniard, basically the meaning is the same but the words are a little bit different.

lol there are no Bosniaks? well have been as long as Bosnia has existed. It's only that the term Bosnians is much more common. Compare for example with spanians versus spaniards.

"Bosniaks" is what muslims from Bosnia call themselves. Biden knows his stuff, unlike some media outlets...

If I am understanding correctly based on the previous posts --
Bosniak = Slavic Muslims centered in Bosnia;
Bosnian = any citizen of Bosnia, regardless of religion or ethnicity.
This is a VITAL distinction and key to understanding the conflicts in the Balkans. Good for Vice President Biden in understanding this issue in an in-depth manner.
This is a very important
