Ottoman Bosnian noble families

There were several notable families of Ottoman Bosnia, many of which have living descendants today who are predominantly Bosniaks. These families are commonly grouped into "bey families" (begovske porodice) or "captain families" (kapetanske porodice) and most were of Islamized Slavs of Christian origin, and some remained Christian as sipahi, while few were of Turkic origin. The descendants of these families are recorded in numerous anthropological studies and have held important public offices.
