'...Serbian Muslim family'

Hello everybody.

I made an account just to mention this. Even though Osman himself identified as a Serb (which was, notum est, a rare occurrence), there is no proof that his parents were either Serbian, or identified as Serbs. The Kurt family in Mostar have resided in the city since the 1700's, and came (as Muslims) from Lika. While the Đikić family has resided in it even longer; the first written Đikić was a certain 'Ali-beg' (middle of the 17th century). So, from a geographical point of view, neither of them cannot be called Serbian; they were not from Serbia.

My point here is; It is wrong to call Osman's parents 'Serbian Muslims', as it: 1. It gives the impression that, during the period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were many Muslims (Bosniaks) in Bosnia who identified themselves as Serbs. 2. It is blatantly wrong, as it's not known whether they identified as Serbs or not. (as previously stated) Bitovnjak (talk) 22:46, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
