The irony of the Bosnian language is that its speakers are, on the level of colloquial idiom, more linguistically homogenous than either Serbs or Croats, but failed, due to historical reasons, to standardize their language in the crucial 19th century.
This distinction and official recognition of the Bosnian language is further acknowledged by signatures of the former presidents of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Alija Izetbegović), Croatia (Franjo Tuđman) and Serbia (Slobodan Milošević).

 Bosnians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bosnians were not allowed to declare themselves as Bosnians in former Yugoslavia even when they requested that option in the constitutional amendments of 1947 and 1973.
Bosnians are a multi-religious as much as multi-ethnic society but this is not to say that its component religions and ethnicities are homogeneous and independent from each other.
This was also contributed by the fact that today's connotations of the word "Bosnian" and its meaning, is somewhat different to what it previously had meant prior to the Bosnian Muslim name change and due to the aggressive efforts of some Bosniaks to monopolize the word Bosnian to imply Bosniak.
