Abstract

The ethnonym “Boscor/Bozgor” is presented by some researchers or Hungarian politicians who support political correctness as being of relatively recent origin (1934), having appeared out of nowhere (ex nihilo), and as carrying exclusively pejorative or offensive connotations. In reality, this ethnonym has a significant history in the Romanian language, with a comprehensive lexical paradigm and a wide area of distribution. The ethnonym “Boscor/Bozgor” (exonym) derives from the ethnonym “Bashkir” (endonym). Its borrowing into the Romanian language might have occurred between the 9th and 14th centuries, a period during which the massive presence of the Bashkirs in the Pannonian Plain, alongside Hungarians and Romanians, is attested by various foreign authors (Byzantine, Persian or Arab). The subject should be approached without subjectivism, manipulation, or political correctness, strictly adhering to the methods and tools of objective scientific research.
