bosniak
ボシュニャク人
解説 Definition
ボシュニャク人；ボスニア・ヘルツェゴビナのムスリム民族。
A Bosniak is a member of a predominantly Muslim South Slavic ethnic group historically centered in Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighboring regions. The term identifies an ethnicity and should not be used as a simple synonym for every citizen or resident of Bosnia.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
民族名なので通常Bosniakと大文字で書き、Bosniak people、Bosniak communities、複数形Bosniaksで覚える。Bosna「ボスナ」に人を表すスラヴ語系の接尾辞-akが付いた形と捉える。Bosnianは国籍・地域・言語を広く表し得るのに対し、Bosniakは主にボスニア・ヘルツェゴビナに歴史的基盤を持つ特定民族を指す。
Build Bosniak from Bosna, the local name associated with Bosnia, plus the Slavic person-forming ending -ak. This makes “a person of the Bosna or Bosnia tradition” a useful structural cue. Learn the singular Bosniak, the plural Bosniaks, and combinations such as “Bosniak people” and “Bosniak communities.” The key contrast is with Bosnian: Bosnian can broadly describe citizenship, regional origin, or the language, whereas Bosniak usually identifies a particular South Slavic ethnic group whose historical culture is predominantly Muslim. Capitalize both terms when they name a people or nationality.

bosniak の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ボスニアの住民を指すスラヴ語。「Bosna（ボスナ川）」＋スラヴ語の人を表す接尾辞「-ak」から成る。ボスナ川の名はイリュリア語で「流れる水」を意味する語に由来するとされる。関連語: Bosnia, Bosnian。川の名が民族名の起源という典型例。
Bosniak entered English through South Slavic usage and is based on Bosna, the native name of Bosnia and of the Bosna River, with the person-forming suffix -ak. The river and region thus supplied the basis for the ethnic name. The deeper origin of Bosna is ancient and not fully certain; it has sometimes been connected with an old word referring to flowing water. In present English, Bosniak has a more specific ethnic sense than the broader geographical or civic adjective Bosnian.
