Bosnian Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks have no major physical traits by which they can be distinguished. A recent genetical study showed that variance of genome is larger among members of the same nation than between nations.
While each have their own standard language variant and a name for it, they speak a mutually intelligible languages. On a dialectal level, Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks speak a variety of Štokavian dialects: Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats "southern" neo-Štokavian; Croats and Bosniaks "western" neo-Štokavian and Bosniaks and Croats "eastern-Bosnian" old-Štokavian. These dialects are mutually intelligible, but have fixed phonetic, morphological and lexical differences. The question of standard language of Bosnia and Herzegovina is resolved in such a way that three constituent nations have their educational and cultural institutions in their respective national standard languages: Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian.
The most easily recognizable feature that distinguishes the three nations is their religion, with Croats predominantly Catholic Christians, Bosniaks predominantly Muslim, and Serbs Orthodox ChristiansEastern Orthodox Christianity (Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox) is the modern name primarily applied to the Christian church that claims to be the original historical church started by Christ Jesus and his Apostles 2000 years ago. They claim unbroken apo.
This has led many sociologistsSociology is the study of social rules and processes that bind and separate people not only as individuals, but as members of associations, groups, and institutions. A typical textbook definition of sociology calls it the study of the social lives of huma to believe that these ethnical groups emerged from religious groups in a process that occurred in 19th centuryAlternative meaning: Nineteenth Century (periodical ( 18th century — 19th century — 20th century — more centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 19th century was that century which lasted from 1801- 1900. Events The Little Ice Age ended. On the other hand, numerous historians, culturologists and ethnologists consider that Croats and Serbs have merely completed their national integration in the 19th century (like, for instance, Norwegians or Slovaks), while Bosniaks crystallized into a separate nation only at the end of the 20th century.
During the Bronze AgeThe Bronze Age is a period in a civilization's development when the most advanced metalworking has developed the techniques of smelting copper from natural outcroppings and alloys it to cast bronze.

The turmoil after the fall of Western Roman Empire in 476 was followed by settlement of Slavs in 7th century. Even though modern languages of this area are almost purely Slavic with very little Illyrian influence, it is believed that, genetically speaking, the present population of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a mixture of Slavs and Illyrians with influences of other nations such as Avars and Goths.
There are many theories regarding the ethnical structure of medieval Bosnian state, however evidence are inconclusive. Claims that medieval Bosnians declared themselves Croats or Serbs have been disputed; evidence shows many instances of them calling themselves Bosnians (Bošnjani), however some historians believe that these indicate regional rather than ethnical identity.
