| | BOSNIANS |
 | | Bosnian music can be divided into rural and urban traditions, with the urban tradition more strongly influenced by Turkish musical practice. |
 | | The rural tradition is characterized by such musical styles as ravne pesme (flat song) of limited scale, ganga, an almost shouted polyphonic style, and other types of songs which may be accompanied on sargija (a simple long-necked lute), wooden flute, or the diple, a droneless bagpipe. |
 | | Epic poems, an ancient tradition, are still sung to the sound of the gusle, a single-string bowed fiddle. |
