Bosniaks in Turkey refers to citizens of Turkey who are, or descend from, ethnic Bosniak people, originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sandžak and other former Yugoslav republics.
In the 1965 Census, 17,627 Turkish citizens spoke Bosnian as a first language, which is only 0.05% of the population. These people were mostly living in Kocaeli (1.2%), Sakarya (0.7%), Kırklareli (0.4%) and Izmir (0.2%). Another 34,892 spoke Bosnian as a second language. There are currently an estimated 106,000 Turkish citizens identifying as Bosniaks; however, an article published in Milliyet in 2008 suggests that there may be as high as 2 million people of Bosniak descent in Turkey, with high concentrations living in Adapazarı, Izmir, and Manisa.
