	History of Sarajevo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sarajevo as we know it today was founded by the Ottoman Empire in the 1450s upon conquering the region, with 1461 typically used as the cityâs founding date.
		The first Ottoman governor of Bosnia, Isa-Beg IshakoviÄ, transformed whatever cluster of villages there was there into a city and state capitol by building a number of key objects, including a mosque, a closed marketplace, a public bath, a hostel, and of course the governorâs castle (ââSarayââ) which gave the city itâs present name.
		Sarajevo became known for its large marketplace and numerous mosques, which by the middle of the 16th century were over a hundred in number.

	MSN Encarta - Ottoman Empire
		Ottoman Empire, dynastic state centered in what is now Turkey, founded in the late 13th century and dismantled in the early 20th century.

	Evil of the great spleen - HERCEG BOSNA :: Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina ::
		The dialect used in Bosnia before the Ottoman conquest confirms that Bosnia was inhabited by compact population using a western version of the "stokavski" dialect which is a lot closer to the "cakavski" and "stokavski" than to the eastern "stokavski" dialect (map 4).
		The Ottoman invasion was unleashed towards Bosnia, but Bosnian aristocrats at the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century, such as Hrvoje Vukcic Hrvatinic and Stjepan Kosaca, were almost solely preoccupied with their parochial power games and preservation of influence spheres.
		In the Bosnian Pashaluk, the Ottomans infused the indigenous islamised population with the idea of statehood (Turkish-Oriental variant) and helped shape a new, fiercely loyal ethnicity, which is a unique case in all the European lands under their occupation.

		Mahalas were named for their local mesdzid, which in turn were named for their donors; or, in the early years, many mahalas represented small villages that had been incorporated into the town, such as Bistrik, and so retained this name.
		The rich Ottoman housing stock of Sarajevo represented houses from the late 17th century to the early 20th, but they began to be torn down in the 1950s, replaced by modernism.

	NL16_1: The Vlachs in Bosnia
		As early as 1530, when the Habsburg official Benedict Kuripe?ic travelled through Bosnia, he was able to report that the country was inhabited by three peoples, One was the Turks, who ruled "with great tyranny" over the Christians.
		The Vlachs were particularly suitable for the Ottoman government's purposes, not only because they were mobile (their typical occupations were shepherding, horse-breeding and organizing transport for traders), but also because they had a strong military tradition.
		At the same time, Vlachs and Serbs who had fled northwards from the Ottoman advance in the fifteenth century, and who had similar military traditions, began to be organized by the Habsburgs on the other side of this fluid and shifting border.

	Response to Noel Malcolm 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		To be precise, under Ottoman rule the territory of the present-day Kosovo and Metohija was divided into a number of Ottoman administrative units, the Vucitrn, Dukagjin, Prizren and Skadar sandzaks.
		Criticizing the dark picture of the centuries long Ottoman rule drawn in the Balkan countries, Malcolm claims that it is a "rude anachronism" to call the "Ottoman system" in its early period chaotic and tyrannical".
		The main characteristic of the government of the Ottoman sultans during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries was pragmatism, and it is through this prism that all their actions in relation to their subjects - both good and bad ones - are to be seen.
