Bulgarians trace their ancestry and derive their name from the Bulgars, a Turkic people that ruled over the South Slavic populations in the region south of the Dan- ube River during the Middle Ages. A unique Bulgarian identity emerged from the cultural fusion of the Bulgars with the ancient Thracian tribes and the Slavic peoples of the area. For centuries, the Bulgarians lived under Turkish domination until the tide turned during World War II, and Bulgaria became an ally of the Soviet Union and part of its "Eastern bloc." Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Bulgaria has embraced democ- racy and acceded to the European Union in 2007.
Turks without history or heritage trying to steal the achievements of other completely unrelated nations and proclaim them as their own- nothing new under the sun
Turkic and Jewish genealogical myths recorded by King Joseph and Sefer Yosippon identified Khazar as the "brother" of other Turkic tribes like the Bulgars and Sabirs (see below). Syriac legends said that the ancestor of the Khazars was named "Khazarig," the brother of "Bulgarios." Most scholars believe that these legends have a historical basis and that the Khazars were indeed closely related to Turkic tribes such as the Bulgars and Bashkirs.
My Bulgarian history isn’t great but I do know that the French descend from the Franks (a Germanic tribe) and they weren’t native to present day France
@@billychops1280 A little fun fact: the Frankish language is basically Old Dutch (or at least, that's what it evolved into). Of course, other elements have entered the language since then (e.g. some English, French, Frisian, Latin etc. elements), but Dutch is the most "original"/conservative version of the Frankish language. High German was also heavily influenced by the Frankish language; although it underwent the High German consonant shift and was mixed more with other Germanic languages.
Russia didnt want to free Bulgaria. They just wanted to beat the Ottoman empire. They even made a secret agreement with other countries not to allow Bulgaria to be a powerfull country in case it ended up being freed as a result of their battle with the ottoman empire.

Nikov is the first Bulgarian historian to pay special attention to, and attri bute great significance to, the Turkic components in the Bulgarian ethnogen esis (i.e., after the Bulgars) and among the ruling aristocracy. He elaborated on the issue of the "Turkic element's" influence upon Bulgarian history in a 1928 unpublished manuscript (delivered as a public lecture). Nikov began with the following policy-setting statement: There is no period in our history on which the Turkic element did not exert its strongest influence and did not leave the deepest traces in the development of our people. [...] None of the Balkan peoples has experi enced the Turkic influence so strongly as our people, The Turkic pressure began from Central Asia and had two directions to the northwest through southern Russia, and to the southwest through Persia and Asia Minor. The Bulgarian state was founded due to one of the Turkic peoples, the Bulgars, who themselves joined a number of Turkic tribal alliances (of Huns, Kutrigurs, Utigurs, Avars, and Khazars). During Byzantine rule, the Turkic Pechenegs and Uz came from the north; many of them crossed the Danube and were assimilated by the Bulgarian people. Then came the Cumans, without whose decisive help the uprising of Asenevtsi would hardly have succeeded. Thus, just as the First Bulgarian Kingdom was founded with the help of the Turkic Bulgars, the Second Kingdom was founded with "the decisive collabora tion of the Turkic Cumans."129 Not only did Cumans settle south of the Danube and become assimilated and absorbed by the Slavic-Bulgarian people, but they were also of great significance politically in the Second Kingdom, whose dynas ties all had Cuman blood in them. There were also many Bulgarian boyars of Cuman origin, including Balic in Dobrudzha. It could even be said that the Cumans acquired a dominant position in the political life of the state. 130 There followed the influence of the Mongol Tartars, who even supplied one Bulgarian king, Chaka. But of greatest importance were the Ottoman and Seljuk Turks, who conquered the Balkans from Asia Minor. Concerning the Cumans, Nikov considers the "transfusion of blood" from Turkic "elements" an asset, a means of rejuvenating and strengthening the "race" and enhancing the vitality of the Bulgarian people (in contrast with the conquering Turks).
I would not recommend this video for use in class. The Bulgars were not Turkic and the language was not adopted from the Slavic population. However, the rest of the video is fine...
The bulgars came into present day Bulgaria from the northern part of the Black Sea idk if they were Turkish but it definitely doesn’t sound right and I also don’t know why the Thracians were included in the vid, all they did was inhabit the land many centuries before the Bulgars
A terrific video, and a great resource for people! Bulgaria is a fantastic country with a rich and very interesting history and this is a great way to first introduce people to it.
Perfect video! Admiration! Just a small correction - recent genetic research proved that Bulgars had absolutely nothing in common with Turks. Bulgars were Indo-European (Iranian) tribe
I can’t believe joke claims of bulgarians😂😂😂 Since 1989, Bulgarian nationalism continues to live off cosy reminiscences of the ‘Revival Process’ ideology. Anti-Turkish rhetoric is now reflected in the theories that challenge the thesis of Turkic origin of the Proto-Bulgars. Alongside the ‘Iranian’ or ‘Aryan’ theory, there appeared arguments favouring an autochthonous origin... The ‘parahistoric’ theories, very often politically loaded and have almost nothing to do with objective scientific research in the field of Proto-Bulgarian Studies, could be summarized in several directions:...3)‘Aryan roots’ and the ‘enigmatic Eurasian homeland’. Meanwhile, another group of authors is looking eagerly for the supposed homeland of the ancient Bulgarians in the vast areas of Eurasia, perhaps by conscious or unconscious opposition to the pro-Western orientation of modern Bulgaria. At the same time, with little regard for consistency, they also oppose the Turkic theory, probably because this is in sharp contradiction with the anti-Turkish feelings shared by nationalistic circles.

Just a few corrections, Bulgars weren't Turkic, modern DNA testing of both modern Bulgarians and skeletons reveal full Indo-European ancestry, less than 1% Turkic Mongolic or Altaic genes. They didn't adopt the Slavic language or customs, a sort of homogenous group emerged with equal value to all its constituent ethnicities, the first reforms were done under Krum's reign and continued in the centuries. A large Slavic majority is unknown and only speculative. The Byzantines and Bulgarians were exchanging victories, "often victorious" is unfair to the record. Basil conquered Bulgaria the same way Bulgarians conquered many o-parts of Byzantium. Also a not so fun fact, in the second Bulgarian empire Tsar Kaloyan (Yoanitsa) would call himself the roman slayer, he viewed himself as a vengeance to Basil and killed many of the armies he fought with a lot of prejudice. In contrast the son of his older brother that would grow into Tsar Ivan Asen II would spare many armies and in hearing of his mercy many fortresses would open his gates for the soldiers willingly.
I do not believe they are teaching the Western history completely and accurately in schools and universities. They are typically stuck in their Hellenic-centric explanations. Western civilization is much older than Greek and Roman history that preoccupies the current Western thinking. When that is corrected and people are better educated, then they might take more pride in preserving the Western culture, which I happen to think it is a great culture and has made fantastic contributions to mankind. Most Westerners do not know their history, ethnic and linguistic background….

"Krummy" thing to do, hilarious :) One remark though, genetic evidence suggest that the Bolgars have nothing to do with any Turkic tribes whatsoever. Archeological evidence points the same thing; linguistic one is pretty weak.

Int J Immunogenet. 2012 Oct;39(5):394-408 According to Neparáczki: "From all recent and archaic populations tested the Volga Tatars show the smallest genetic distance to the entire Conqueror population" and "a direct genetic relation of the Conquerors to Onogur-Bulgar ancestors of these groups is very feasible." Onogur-Bulgars had been part of the Hunnic people, and after the death of Attila’s son Irnik, European Hun remains fused with the Onogurs.

In each population, one source group has at least some ancestry related to Northeast Asians, with ~2 to 4% of these groups total ancestry linking directly to East Asia. This signal might correspond to a small genetic legacy from invasions of peoples from the Asian steppes (e.g., the Huns, Magyars, and Bulgars) during the first millennium CE." Around 4% of Bulgarian genes are derived outside of Europe and the Middle East or are of undetermined origin (by 858 CE), of which 2.3% are from Northeast Asia and correspond to Asian tribes such as Bulgars,[13] a consistent very low frequency for Eastern Europe as far as Uralic-speaking Hungarians.
For a long time, the Bulgharian state retained a Turkic organisation, which gradually adopted elements borrowed from Byzantium. Some of the titles have still not been deciphered, but kavhan, boy/a, khan, kolovur, bagatur, tarkhan and sampsi are Turkic in origin, or were at least used by Turkic peoples. In the meantime, the leading Turkic class gradually diminished, and became assimilated in to the Slav population. By the end of the 7th century, bilinguality was wide spread. Omurtag's three sons (also) had Slavonic names (Vovin. Zvinitsa and Malamir). The linguistic effect of Turkic-Slav coexistence is also reflected in inscriptions. Among the titles of court office bearers was, för example, the ichirgu boy/a, the 'internal boyla' of which parallels are attested in Turkic sources of Central Asia. From a Cyrillic inscription of around 969 it is known that at the end ofthe era this would be approximately uttered as chregubilya. The second element of the title is the origin of the Hungarian name Béla, used by several kings of the Árpád dynasty. R., 1999. Hungarians and Europe in the early Middle Ages. Budapest: Central European University Press, p.228. At some point during the second half of the early eleventh century, after living for a long time among Turkic populations and studying their languages and traditions, Mahmud al-Kashghari produced a well-documented work about the "Turks." According to him, only the Qirqiz, the Qipchaq, the Oghuz and five other tribes spoke a pure Turkic language, while the languages of the Bulgars, Suvars and Pech enegs Bačänäk), while undoubtedly Turkic, had been altered by foreign influences. Mahmud al-Kashgari believed that initially there were very few differences between all those languages, all phonetical." He saw the linguistic fragmentation as a natural phenomenon, given the vast area, between the Byzantine and the Chinese frontiers, in which those peoples lived. Spinei, V., 2009. The Romanians and the Turkic nomads north of the Danube Delta from the tenth to the mid-thirteenth century. Leiden: Brill, pp.181, 182. At the beginning of the 600s, the Oghur population regained independence under the leadership of the Bulghar tribes. The Bulghars are mentioned nearly everywhere, together with, or as identical to, the Onoghundurs. Theophanes simply calls the Bulghars Unnoghundur-Bulghar, and Porphyrogenitus also writes that the Bulghars "used to" call themselves Onoghundur. Armenian sources mention them under the name Olhontor Bulkar and later Vlendur Bulkar. The name is written in the Hudud al-alam as Vunundur, by Masudi as Wulundur, in a letter by the Khazar khaghan Joseph as Vununtur. These forms are the only basis for explaining the Hungarian name for the Balkan Bulghars, Nandur, and later Nándor. R., 1999. Hungarians and Europe in the early Middle Ages. Budapest: Central European University Press, p.215.

The Bulgarians once bordered Croatia and often came into conflict, so that they would later turn Raška into Serbs, who were created from the Bulgarians, so that the same Serbs would attack the Bulgarians, and today the Serbs claim that they are the oldest people in the Balkans, but in fact they were Croats from Raška. who took over Orthodoxy and turned it into the Serbian religion of Svetosavlje and took the Cyrillic alphabet from the Bulgarians as their Scripture

The Turkic languages are clearly interrelated, showing close similarities in phonology, morphology, and syntax. Historically, they split into two types early on, Common Turkic and Bolgar Turkic. The language of the Proto-Bolgars, reportedly similar to the Khazar language, belonged to the latter type. Its only modern representative is Chuvash, which originated in Volga Bolgarian and exhibits archaic features. The Proto-Bulgarians had a somewhat eventful history prior to their arrival on the Balkan Peninsula. The earliest written sources indicate that they inhabited the region to the north of the Caucasus in the 4th century A.D. and had close contact with the Georgians and Armenians. They belonged to the Turkic ethno-linguistic group and their language resembled that of the Huns, Khazars, Avars and other tribes. (How the bulgarian state was founded-Dimiter Angelov) The Oghur, or Onogur or Ogur[3] languages (also known as Bulgar, Pre-Proto-Bulgar,[4]or Lir-Turkic and r-Turkic), are a branch of the Turkic language family. The only extant member of the group is the Chuvash language. The first to branch off from the Turkic family, the Oghur languages show significant divergence from other Turkic languages, which all share a later common ancestor. Languages from this family were spoken in some nomadic tribal confederations, such as those of the Onogurs or Ogurs, Bulgars, and Khazars.[5]Some scholars consider Hunnic a similar language[6] and refer to this extended grouping as Hunno-Proto-Bulgarian.[7] The only surviving language from this linguistic group is believed to be Chuvash.Omeljan Pritsak in his study "The Hunnic Language of the Attila Clan" (1982)[10] concluded that the language of the Bulgars was from the family of the Hunnic languages, as he calls the Oghur languages.[11] According to Antoaneta Granberg : " the data is insufficient to clearly distinguish Huns, Avars and Bulgars one from another" - introduction, the second paragraph Bolgars are still Turk in Volga region.Mahmud al kashgari wrote bulgar language in his diwan lughat al turk before 1000 years. Even ilovelanguages made video about bulgar language(volga bulgar poet from Diwan Lughat al Turk)
Warrior race, I've red some of your comments around, but I still don't know your nationality.. Would you share it please? It is not fair to argue and dispute on racial basis and don't tell yours...
To be accurate, please include the Scythian origin of Bulgars who are not Turkic. To present only the Bulgar history after 7th century AD can be very misleading.
If you want to unify the Balkans just tell them it’s to fight the Turks lol (although that might not be enough since historically even in this situation there were traitors)
Because the Bulgars and the Vlachs ware long term allies since 6th century (due to common needs), and the second Bulgarian Kingdom offered way more pleasant tax policy than anyone else. Also considering how the second Bulgarian Kingdom was officially a peasant state with power vacuum it's first monarchs (Asen and Petar) ware of half Wallachian origin.
@@rawka_7929that's a lie, if it wasn't for the political shelter offered by Valachia and the Cuman mercenaries which would become the spine of our second kingdom Bulgaria wouldn't exist at all, the second Bulgarian Kingdom was established due to countless social and political reasons. Wallachia at the time was more akin to Venice in the sense of being more pragmatic and profit oriented than geopolitically ambiguous. They had little to loose from being part of the second Bulgarian Kingdom and a lot to gain from it: better tax policy, influence over 4 times their territory and never the less all of the benefits from Empire logistics and labour capabilities.They left only when the second Bulgarian Kingdom was at it's fading point durring 13th century.
@@peterdenov4898 Wallachia didn't exist when the Empire was first established (Empire not Kingdom). As for size and autonomy? Bulgaria was bigger than Wallachia, and by quite a bit. Autonomy? Depends on the era, because sometimes they didn't have that much and other times they were defacto independent. As for Vlach help? It is indeed undeniable, but it doesn't change that it was a mainly Bulgarian Empire.
Sword of Justice you are contradicting yourself. You state the Bulgars are Slavic then you insist they are Turkic?!? Yes, all professors in your Turkish university are probably brainwashed just like your president who thinks the freedom of speech is bad for Turkey. Also, it’s important to look at the latest genetic discoveries. They give a very definitive answer that Bulgarians are very far from any relation with the Turks. Much closer relation with Greeks, Italians, Serbs, Croats, even Romanians. Try science and history next time. Just because you keep repeating something it doesn’t make it true. 😉

@@papazataklaattiranimam LOL🤣 Hanim BULGARIANS ARE IRANIAN LIKE THE ASHINA DYNASTY That Ruled your supposed ancestors Several researchers, including Peter B. Golden,[29] H. W. Haussig,[30] S. G. Klyashtorny,[31][32] Carter V. Findley,[33] D. G. Savinov,[34] B. A. Muratov,[35] S. P. Guschin,[36] and András Róna-Tas[37] have posited that the term Ashina ultimately descends from an Indo-European source, possibly Tocharian or from one of the many Eastern Iranian tribal groups, such as the Saka and Wusun.[38] Carter V. Findley assumes that the name "Ashina" comes from one of the Saka languages of central Asia and means "blue" (which translates to Proto-Turkic *kȫk, whence Old Turkic 𐰚𐰇𐰚 kök, and same in all Modern Turkic languages). The color blue is identified with the east, so that Göktürk, another name for the Turkic empire, meant the "Turks of the East"; meanwhile, Peter Benjamin Golden favours a more limited denotation of Göktürks as denoting only the Eastern Turks.[39][40] This idea is seconded by Hungarian researcher András Róna-Tas, who finds it plausible "that we are dealing with a royal family and clan of Saka origin".[41] Findley also said that the term böri, used to identify the ruler's retinue as 'wolves', probably also derived from one of the Iranian languages.[42] H. W. Haussig and S. G. Kljyashtorny suggest an association between the name and the compound "kindred of Ashin" ahşaẽna (in Old Persian). This is so even in East Turkestan; then the desired form would be in the Sogdian 'xs' yn' k (-әhšēnē) "blue, dark"; Khotan-Saka (Brahmi) āşşeiņa (-āşşena) "blue", where a long -ā- emerged as development ahş-> āşş-; in Tocharian A āśna- "blue, dark" (from Khotan-Saka and Sogdian). There is textual support for either of these versions in the Göktürk Orkhon inscriptions, in which the Göktürks are described as the "Blue Turks"; being descended from the marriage between Blue Sky and the Brown Earth.[43][44] According to Kuastornyj, the perfect translation of "Ashina" as an Indo-European word meaning "blue" indicates that the Türks of the First Turkic Khaganate period were aware of the non-Türkic origin of the name "Ashina", and of the dual ethnic origin of the early Türks. In the view of Louis Bazin, this knowledge was being suppressed in the Second Turkic Khaganate period by the Türkic nationalist policies of Bilge Qaghan.[45][46] The name "Ashina" was recorded in ancient Muslim chronicles in these forms: Aś(i)nas (al-Tabari), Ānsa (Hudud al-'Alam), Śaba (Ibn Khordadbeh), Śana, Śaya (Al-Masudi).[47][48]

Bulgarians trace their ancestry and derive their name from the Bulgars, a Turkic people that ruled over the South Slavic populations in the region south of the Dan- ube River during the Middle Ages. A unique Bulgarian identity emerged from the cultural fusion of the Bulgars with the ancient Thracian tribes and the Slavic peoples of the area. For centuries, the Bulgarians lived under Turkish domination until the tide turned during World War II, and Bulgaria became an ally of the Soviet Union and part of its "Eastern bloc." Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Bulgaria has embraced democ- racy and acceded to the European Union in 2007.

Turkic and Jewish genealogical myths recorded by King Joseph and Sefer Yosippon identified Khazar as the "brother" of other Turkic tribes like the Bulgars and Sabirs (see below). Syriac legends said that the ancestor of the Khazars was named "Khazarig," the brother of "Bulgarios." Most scholars believe that these legends have a historical basis and that the Khazars were indeed closely related to Turkic tribes such as the Bulgars and Bashkirs.

Nikov is the first Bulgarian historian to pay special attention to, and attri bute great significance to, the Turkic components in the Bulgarian ethnogen esis (i.e., after the Bulgars) and among the ruling aristocracy. He elaborated on the issue of the "Turkic element's" influence upon Bulgarian history in a 1928 unpublished manuscript (delivered as a public lecture). Nikov began with the following policy-setting statement:
There is no period in our history on which the Turkic element did not exert its strongest influence and did not leave the deepest traces in the development of our people. [...] None of the Balkan peoples has experi enced the Turkic influence so strongly as our people,
The Turkic pressure began from Central Asia and had two directions to the northwest through southern Russia, and to the southwest through Persia and Asia Minor. The Bulgarian state was founded due to one of the Turkic peoples, the Bulgars, who themselves joined a number of Turkic tribal alliances (of Huns, Kutrigurs, Utigurs, Avars, and Khazars). During Byzantine rule, the Turkic Pechenegs and Uz came from the north; many of them crossed the Danube and were assimilated by the Bulgarian people. Then came the Cumans, without whose decisive help the uprising of Asenevtsi would hardly have succeeded. Thus, just as the First Bulgarian Kingdom was founded with the help of the Turkic Bulgars, the Second Kingdom was founded with "the decisive collabora tion of the Turkic Cumans."129 Not only did Cumans settle south of the Danube and become assimilated and absorbed by the Slavic-Bulgarian people, but they were also of great significance politically in the Second Kingdom, whose dynas ties all had Cuman blood in them. There were also many Bulgarian boyars of Cuman origin, including Balic in Dobrudzha. It could even be said that the Cumans acquired a dominant position in the political life of the state. 130 There followed the influence of the Mongol Tartars, who even supplied one Bulgarian king, Chaka. But of greatest importance were the Ottoman and Seljuk Turks, who conquered the Balkans from Asia Minor. Concerning the Cumans, Nikov considers the "transfusion of blood" from Turkic "elements" an asset, a means of rejuvenating and strengthening the "race" and enhancing the vitality of the Bulgarian people (in contrast with the conquering Turks).

I am from Bulgaria and i can say... GREAT VIDEO ДА СИ ЖИВ И ЗДРАВ :)❤️❤️❤️
I've been looking for videos like this for my students. Thanks for the effort
I would not recommend this video for use in class. The Bulgars were not Turkic and the language was not adopted from the Slavic population. However, the rest of the video is fine...
The bulgars came into present day Bulgaria from the northern part of the Black Sea idk if they were Turkish but it definitely doesn’t sound right and I also don’t know why the Thracians were included in the vid, all they did was inhabit the land many centuries before the Bulgars

I can’t believe joke claims of bulgarians😂😂😂
Since 1989, Bulgarian nationalism continues to live off cosy reminiscences of the ‘Revival Process’ ideology. Anti-Turkish rhetoric is now reflected in the theories that challenge the thesis of Turkic origin of the Proto-Bulgars. Alongside the ‘Iranian’ or ‘Aryan’ theory, there appeared arguments favouring an autochthonous origin... The ‘parahistoric’ theories, very often politically loaded and have almost nothing to do with objective scientific research in the field of Proto-Bulgarian Studies, could be summarized in several directions:...3)‘Aryan roots’ and the ‘enigmatic Eurasian homeland’. Meanwhile, another group of authors is looking eagerly for the supposed homeland of the ancient Bulgarians in the vast areas of Eurasia, perhaps by conscious or unconscious opposition to the pro-Western orientation of modern Bulgaria. At the same time, with little regard for consistency, they also oppose the Turkic theory, probably because this is in sharp contradiction with the anti-Turkish feelings shared by nationalistic circles.

Just a few corrections, Bulgars weren't Turkic, modern DNA testing of both modern Bulgarians and skeletons reveal full Indo-European ancestry, less than 1% Turkic Mongolic or Altaic genes.
They didn't adopt the Slavic language or customs, a sort of homogenous group emerged with equal value to all its constituent ethnicities, the first reforms were done under Krum's reign and continued in the centuries. A large Slavic majority is unknown and only speculative.
The Byzantines and Bulgarians were exchanging victories, "often victorious" is unfair to the record.
Basil conquered Bulgaria the same way Bulgarians conquered many o-parts of Byzantium.
Also a not so fun fact, in the second Bulgarian empire Tsar Kaloyan (Yoanitsa) would call himself the roman slayer, he viewed himself as a vengeance to Basil and killed many of the armies he fought with a lot of prejudice.
In contrast the son of his older brother that would grow into Tsar Ivan Asen II would spare many armies and in hearing of his mercy many fortresses would open his gates for the soldiers willingly.
Tatarhood around Kazan proclaimed themselves deeply attached to ProtoMongol poordom of Bulgaria.
great report they pack a lot of relevant information into a small time period!
Dude a fucking love you! Finally someone can show the westeners that we were worth something back then. And thanks for sharing the truth!
I do not believe they are teaching the Western history completely and accurately in schools and universities. They are typically stuck in their Hellenic-centric explanations. Western civilization is much older than Greek and Roman history that preoccupies the current Western thinking. When that is corrected and people are better educated, then they might take more pride in preserving the Western culture, which I happen to think it is a great culture and has made fantastic contributions to mankind. Most Westerners do not know their history, ethnic and linguistic background….

"Krummy" thing to do, hilarious :) One remark though, genetic evidence suggest that the Bolgars have nothing to do with any Turkic tribes whatsoever. Archeological evidence points the same thing; linguistic one is pretty weak.
As a Bulgarian I agree but people still call us tatars and Turks
Population genetic analysis indicated that Conquerors had closest connection to the Onogur-Bulgar ancestors of Volga Tatars.
Neparáczki, E., Maróti, Z., Kalmár, T. et al. Y-chromosome haplogroups from Hun, Avar and conquering Hungarian period nomadic people of the Carpathian Basin. Sci Rep 9, 16569 (2019).
Thus supporting the view that Tatars may be descendents of ancient Bulgars.
Suslova TA, Burmistrova AL, Chernova MS, Khromova EB, Lupar EI, Timofeeva SV, Devald IV, Vavilov MN, Darke C. HLA gene and haplotype frequencies in Russians, Bashkirs and Tatars, living in the Chelyabinsk Region (Russian South Urals). Int J Immunogenet. 2012 Oct;39(5):394-408
According to Neparáczki: "From all recent and archaic populations tested the Volga Tatars show the smallest genetic distance to the entire Conqueror population" and "a direct genetic relation of the Conquerors to Onogur-Bulgar ancestors of these groups is very feasible."
Onogur-Bulgars had been part of the Hunnic people, and after the death of Attila’s son Irnik, European Hun remains fused with the Onogurs.
Mitogenomic data indicate admixture components of Central-Inner Asian and Srubnaya origin in the conquering Hungarians
Neparáczki E, Maróti Z, Kalmár T, Kocsy K, Maár K, et al. (2018) Mitogenomic data indicate admixture components of Central-Inner Asian and Srubnaya origin in the conquering Hungarians. PLOS ONE 13(10): e0205920.
However, given the common Turkic genetic background of the Bulgars and Khazars, these ethnicities may be difficult to tell apart either archaeologically or genetically.

The Volga Tatars live in the central and eastern parts of European Russia and in western Siberia. They are the descendants of the Bulgar and Kipchak Turkic tribes who inhabited the western wing of the Mongol Empire, the area of the middle Volga River.

Science, 14 February 2014, Vol. 343 no. 6172, p. 751, A Genetic Atlas of Human Admixture History, Garrett Hellenthal at al.: " CIs. for the admixture time(s) overlap but predate the Mongol empire, with estimates from 440 to 1080 CE (Fig.3.) In each population, one source group has at least some ancestry related to Northeast Asians, with ~2 to 4% of these groups total ancestry linking directly to East Asia. This signal might correspond to a small genetic legacy from invasions of peoples from the Asian steppes (e.g., the Huns, Magyars, and Bulgars) during the first millennium CE."
Around 4% of Bulgarian genes are derived outside of Europe and the Middle East or are of undetermined origin (by 858 CE), of which 2.3% are from Northeast Asia and correspond to Asian tribes such as Bulgars,[13] a consistent very low frequency for Eastern Europe as far as Uralic-speaking Hungarians.
For a long time, the Bulgharian state retained a Turkic organisation, which gradually adopted elements borrowed from Byzantium. Some of the titles have still not been deciphered, but kavhan, boy/a, khan, kolovur, bagatur, tarkhan and sampsi are Turkic in origin, or were at least used by Turkic peoples.
In the meantime, the leading Turkic class gradually diminished, and became assimilated in to the Slav population. By the end of the 7th century, bilinguality was wide spread. Omurtag's three sons (also) had Slavonic names (Vovin. Zvinitsa and Malamir). The linguistic effect of Turkic-Slav coexistence is also reflected in inscriptions.
Among the titles of court office bearers was, för example, the ichirgu boy/a, the 'internal boyla' of which parallels are attested in Turkic sources of Central Asia. From a Cyrillic inscription of around 969 it is known that at the end ofthe era this would be approximately uttered as chregubilya. The second element of the title is the origin of the Hungarian name Béla, used by several kings of the Árpád dynasty.

At some point during the second half of the early eleventh century, after living for a long time among Turkic populations and studying their languages and traditions, Mahmud al-Kashghari produced a well-documented work about the "Turks." According to him, only the Qirqiz, the Qipchaq, the Oghuz and five other tribes spoke a pure Turkic language, while the languages of the Bulgars, Suvars and Pech enegs Bačänäk), while undoubtedly Turkic, had been altered by foreign influences. Mahmud al-Kashgari believed that initially there were very few differences between all those languages, all phonetical." He saw the linguistic fragmentation as a natural phenomenon, given the vast area, between the Byzantine and the Chinese frontiers, in which those peoples lived.
Spinei, V., 2009. The Romanians and the Turkic nomads north of the Danube Delta from the tenth to the mid-thirteenth century. Leiden: Brill, pp.181, 182.
At the beginning of the 600s, the Oghur population regained independence under the leadership of the Bulghar tribes. The Bulghars are mentioned nearly everywhere, together with, or as identical to, the Onoghundurs. Theophanes simply calls the Bulghars Unnoghundur-Bulghar, and Porphyrogenitus also writes that the Bulghars "used to" call themselves Onoghundur. Armenian sources mention them under the name Olhontor Bulkar and later Vlendur Bulkar. The name is written in the Hudud al-alam as Vunundur, by Masudi as Wulundur, in a letter by the Khazar khaghan Joseph as Vununtur. These forms are the only basis for explaining the Hungarian name for the Balkan Bulghars, Nandur, and later Nándor.

The Turkic languages are clearly interrelated, showing close similarities in phonology, morphology, and syntax. Historically, they split into two types early on, Common Turkic and Bolgar Turkic. The language of the Proto-Bolgars, reportedly similar to the Khazar language, belonged to the latter type. Its only modern representative is Chuvash, which originated in Volga Bolgarian and exhibits archaic features.
The Proto-Bulgarians had a somewhat eventful history prior to their arrival on the Balkan Peninsula. The earliest written sources indicate that they inhabited the region to the north of the Caucasus in the 4th century A.D. and had close contact with the Georgians and Armenians. They belonged to the Turkic ethno-linguistic group and their language resembled that of the Huns, Khazars, Avars and other tribes.
(How the bulgarian state was founded-Dimiter Angelov)
The Oghur, or Onogur or Ogur[3] languages (also known as Bulgar, Pre-Proto-Bulgar,[4]or Lir-Turkic and r-Turkic), are a branch of the Turkic language family. The only extant member of the group is the Chuvash language. The first to branch off from the Turkic family, the Oghur languages show significant divergence from other Turkic languages, which all share a later common ancestor. Languages from this family were spoken in some nomadic tribal confederations, such as those of the Onogurs or Ogurs, Bulgars, and Khazars.[5]Some scholars consider Hunnic a similar language[6] and refer to this extended grouping as Hunno-Proto-Bulgarian.[7]
The only surviving language from this linguistic group is believed to be Chuvash.Omeljan Pritsak in his study "The Hunnic Language of the Attila Clan" (1982)[10] concluded that the language of the Bulgars was from the family of the Hunnic languages, as he calls the Oghur languages.[11]
According to Antoaneta Granberg : " the data is insufficient to clearly distinguish Huns, Avars and Bulgars one from another" - introduction, the second paragraph
Bolgars are still Turk in Volga region.Mahmud al kashgari wrote bulgar language in his diwan lughat al turk before 1000 years.

Not like they could do much either way to stop it really
Because the Bulgars and the Vlachs ware long term allies since 6th century (due to common needs), and the second Bulgarian Kingdom offered way more pleasant tax policy than anyone else.
Also considering how the second Bulgarian Kingdom was officially a peasant state with power vacuum it's first monarchs (Asen and Petar) ware of half Wallachian origin.

Wallachia at the time was more akin to Venice in the sense of being more pragmatic and profit oriented than geopolitically ambiguous. They had little to loose from being part of the second Bulgarian Kingdom and a lot to gain from it: better tax policy, influence over 4 times their territory and never the less all of the benefits from Empire logistics and labour capabilities.They left only when the second Bulgarian Kingdom was at it's fading point durring 13th century.
@@peterdenov4898 Wallachia didn't exist when the Empire was first established (Empire not Kingdom).
As for size and autonomy? Bulgaria was bigger than Wallachia, and by quite a bit. Autonomy? Depends on the era, because sometimes they didn't have that much and other times they were defacto independent. As for Vlach help? It is indeed undeniable, but it doesn't change that it was a mainly Bulgarian Empire.

Sword of Justice you are contradicting yourself. You state the Bulgars are Slavic then you insist they are Turkic?!? Yes, all professors in your Turkish university are probably brainwashed just like your president who thinks the freedom of speech is bad for Turkey. Also, it’s important to look at the latest genetic discoveries. They give a very definitive answer that Bulgarians are very far from any relation with the Turks. Much closer relation with Greeks, Italians, Serbs, Croats, even Romanians. Try science and history next time. Just because you keep repeating something it doesn’t make it true. 😉
Good job!
Well that was short 😂😂
When your history is empty,it can be done quick,super quick.Greetings to Great Tatar nation of Bulgaria!
If Bulgarians are Tatars then you Vardar Banovinan Bulgarians are Tatar as well
The North Macedonian histoy is only two pages - the first page is full of Bulgarian, Greek, Albanian and Ottoman history, the second page is Yugoslav fairy tales 🤣
Yugoslavia was America for incredibly poor Bulgarian people.
Bulgarians are Thracian, not Bulgars. We are the successors of the Thracians. And before we accepted orthodox Christianity we were apostolics.
We are Bulgarian, Thracian and Slavic
I am proud of Kubrat, Asparukh, Krum, Omurtag as well as the Thracians

BULGARIANS ARE IRANIAN LIKE THE ASHINA DYNASTY
That Ruled your supposed ancestors
Several researchers, including Peter B. Golden,[29] H. W. Haussig,[30] S. G. Klyashtorny,[31][32] Carter V. Findley,[33] D. G. Savinov,[34] B. A. Muratov,[35] S. P. Guschin,[36] and András Róna-Tas[37] have posited that the term Ashina ultimately descends from an Indo-European source, possibly Tocharian or from one of the many Eastern Iranian tribal groups, such as the Saka and Wusun.[38]
Carter V. Findley assumes that the name "Ashina" comes from one of the Saka languages of central Asia and means "blue" (which translates to Proto-Turkic *kȫk, whence Old Turkic 𐰚𐰇𐰚 kök, and same in all Modern Turkic languages). The color blue is identified with the east, so that Göktürk, another name for the Turkic empire, meant the "Turks of the East"; meanwhile, Peter Benjamin Golden favours a more limited denotation of Göktürks as denoting only the Eastern Turks.[39][40] This idea is seconded by Hungarian researcher András Róna-Tas, who finds it plausible "that we are dealing with a royal family and clan of Saka origin".[41] Findley also said that the term böri, used to identify the ruler's retinue as 'wolves', probably also derived from one of the Iranian languages.[42]
H. W. Haussig and S. G. Kljyashtorny suggest an association between the name and the compound "kindred of Ashin" ahşaẽna (in Old Persian). This is so even in East Turkestan; then the desired form would be in the Sogdian 'xs' yn' k (-әhšēnē) "blue, dark"; Khotan-Saka (Brahmi) āşşeiņa (-āşşena) "blue", where a long -ā- emerged as development ahş-> āşş-; in Tocharian A āśna- "blue, dark" (from Khotan-Saka and Sogdian). There is textual support for either of these versions in the Göktürk Orkhon inscriptions, in which the Göktürks are described as the "Blue Turks"; being descended from the marriage between Blue Sky and the Brown Earth.[43][44]
According to Kuastornyj, the perfect translation of "Ashina" as an Indo-European word meaning "blue" indicates that the Türks of the First Turkic Khaganate period were aware of the non-Türkic origin of the name "Ashina", and of the dual ethnic origin of the early Türks. In the view of Louis Bazin, this knowledge was being suppressed in the Second Turkic Khaganate period by the Türkic nationalist policies of Bilge Qaghan.[45][46]
The name "Ashina" was recorded in ancient Muslim chronicles in these forms: Aś(i)nas (al-Tabari), Ānsa (Hudud al-'Alam), Śaba (Ibn Khordadbeh), Śana, Śaya (Al-Masudi).[47][48]

Only one thing is somewhat wrong and that is that all the fights and wars with Greece are mostley even we beat their ass as much as they did ours i can even show you that Bulgarias back then beat the Greeks even more but lets keep it even we fought alot and fought well otherwise everything is on point baby keep it up !
Всички са много щастливи, че някой се е сетил за нас. На никой не му правят впечатление историческите неточности. Същия господин История има видео и за Македония. Там пак сме като някакви натрапници описани. Ама на вас щом ви харесва, значи си заслужаваме да ни обиждат, като ни натрапват, че сме тюркско племе.
So they are Turks or what,I understand less and less more videos I watch.

Guys, there's a difference between turkic and turkish. Also, the Bulgars were mongoloid and had dark skin. Like Kyrgyzstanis
We are not from turkic decent indoeurpean tribes northeast of persia i think and integrated into the hun Army till the split.

Not bad, but really, really GLARING nitpick. The Bulgars werent Turkic. The rest was Ok-ish for such a brief video.
The original Bulgars that arrived from the Volga were of Irano-Turkic descent. The Bulgars mixed heavily with the local Slavic and Thracian tribes that inhabited the Balkans briefly before the Mighty Bulgars arrived to conquer the lands and unite all the southern tribes against a common enemy and was then responsible for creating a standardized slavic language and alphabet for all peoples in the Bulgarian Empire.
@@dayanbalevski4446 Iranic maybe Turkic no, not based on the evidence we have.
@@RLDragonStrider Well, as shown in the video their leaders were called "Khan" which is a word of Turkic origin, not Persian.
@@IgorDimitrov Kanasubigi which means ruler under God I think, a common misconception.
Even so a simple title dosent mean anything in regards to ethnical identity.
There are about 20 or so Turkic words in the Bulgarian language, most relating to military stuff and ranks. Almost like they could've had Turkic mercinaries or they adopted their titles because they liked them.
@@IgorDimitrov What's the origin of the word president (the current head of state)? Shall we be called Latins in 1000 years?
KUBRAT is an IRANIAN name
Armenian sources show the name as HUBRAAT and HUDBAD
Byzantine sources report the Persian name HUBRIADAN
Ossetians have the name HUBAD today
Persian--HUB---Good Deed

Tatar and a poor Tatar indeed.
You have room temperature IQ.
Thracians were not and arent bulgarians.thracians got fully hellenized during the hellenistic and byzantine period mixing with the greek population so when bulgars and slavs came they were greeks.Not only historically but genetically it has been proven that greeks and italians are closer to ancient thracians who have been extinxt and absorbed is the greek world.
I was looking for this comment because I was confused why he mentioned Thracians in the beginning.
CORRECT ALL THE WAY MY MAN👌
completely false, goes against everything the most modern research shows.
totally wrong. not your fault as that is the official history narrative but it is 90% lies. thanks for the effort.
pls ask bulgarians before you shere again something like, Bulgar invaded but then adopted the language and bulgerian are turkik .
Bulgars are Turks. Bulgarians are Thracians, Slavs and Bulgars.

Bulgarians never Turkic
Asparukh ,Kubrat, Persian , Boris are all Iranian names
@@petertodorov9540 A commonly accepted theory is that Boris is a Bulgar language name. Its precise etymology is unclear. It may be derived from one or more of several Turkic words such as böri - meaning "wolf", or from bogöri - which means "short", or from bars - meaning "snow leopard".
The name Krum is of Turkic origin and means "governor prince" (from kurum "rule, leadership, administration").
