Bosniaks are an ethnic minority in Montenegro, first introduced in the 2003 census.

Bosniaks are the third largest ethnic group in the country, after Montenegrins and Serbs.

[1] Bosniaks primarily live in the Sandžak area of northern Montenegro, and form the majority of the population in four municipalities: Rožaje (84.7%), Petnjica (84%), Plav (65.6%) and Gusinje (57.1%).

The BCMS dialects of Gusinje and Plav show a very high structural influence from Albanian.

[2] Today, the majority of Bosniaks are predominantly Sunni Muslim and adhere to the Hanafi school of thought/jurisprudence, the largest and oldest school of jurisprudence within Sunni Islam.
