I'm concerned that on http://en.wikipedia.org/File:BosniaHerzegovina.gif the map is described as "Religious map", but on this article it's labelled "Ethnic map". Religious groups and ethnic groups in Bosnia are NOT the same (notwithstanding a great deal of overlap), and confusion between the two concepts (or deliberate distortion) has played a part in some very nasty periods of Bosnian history. So, what is this a map of? Reported ethnic identity in any particular area? Religious majority in any particular area? Or something else?
Also, is this a measure of population or of land-ownership? The 1910 census recorded both, but since it reckoned that the vast majority of land was muslim-owned and the map is not dominated by a single colour, I can only assume the map is population-based.
In any case these 3 are not the only groups in Bosnia at the time; only the majority. The census reported on the presence of some other groups; for instance a number of "Romanian speaking" (ie. Vlach) settlements.
