==Demographics== Bohoniki was primarily a Lipka Tatar settlement. According to the 1921 census, the village had a population of 208, of which 99.5% declared Polish nationality, 84.1% were Roman Catholic and 12.5% Muslim by confession. Today, still a few families in the village are Tatars and practicing Muslims. Although residents don't speak their native Tatar language (often written in Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic alphabet), they have close ties to Lipka Tatar and Islamic traditions.
