They administered large non-Muslim populations which, in many areas, outnumbered Muslims. There were numerous populations with different confessional, linguistic, cultural, social, and economic backgrounds. The most striking feature of the Ottoman Empire as a social entity was its diversity. The Muslim population itself was heterogeneous.In premodern times, individual, family, and group identities were fluid because “identity [. . .] was more than just a sum total of its parts; it was a dynamic process”. The primarily marks of early modern identity were religion, “nation”, and language (although linguistic boundaries were not yet well defined). Various identity labels usually co-existed, and historically certain labels disappeared, others remained, while new ones emerged.
