Are Bulgarians Turkic?

[georgepavel]

Practically, the Bulgarians and the Romanians are one and the same people, just speaking different languages.

[nikolainikolov]

Bulgarian haven't nothing common with turkic

[huntlesstrke]

Ethnic Bulgarians have 0% central asian dna 😁. They are predominantly balkan/east european between 60-80%, the rest 20-40% is a mix of mainly greek and south italian, some baltic, some central europe, some iberian. Seen more than 100 dna tests and literally all lay in this range.

[Спартак-цз]

A big mistake, the Bulgarians, as a nation, are older than the Slavs and the Turks, the Turks themselves are not a single group. The study of the gene, the Bulgarians are the Thracians.

[Kanasubigi]

How could Bulgarians be Turks if the bulgars weren’t Turks? Many studies have been done on Bulgar dna and it’s very similar to Iron Age Scythian graves found in Hungary, they had a significant caucus component placing them genetically close to Dagestani, Georgians, Armenians etc. East Asian genes with negligible or didn’t exist. 55% of Bulgarian genes are Mediterranean mostly resembling genetics found in the caucuses.

Bulgarians can’t be slavs either since genetically Bulgarians are closer to English people and Germans before Russians.

In Bulgaria the scientists already know that the proto Bulgarians are not Turkish. And DNA demonstrate that. But this gay continue to sing the old song. I think for Bulgaria is not interesting which anatolian or such things. The question is which culture is graund for the modern bulgerian culture. Tracian, Slavic or protoulgarians, or Greeks

Hi brothers Bolgarian ! From your brother Tatars

[kirokirov-lucs]

Four ethnic groups live in Bulgaria, your video is provocative and dangerous for Europe, don't you understand that? Remove the video immediately, you know nothing about Bulgaria.

[oghuz_kaghan]

Burlagrians are a diverse people most common genes now are slavic but if you would make deep genetic research they are oghur turkic, proto turkic, scythian,

[MargoSkaridka]

Bulgars ware never turkic they didn’t have mongol features more of Georgian one

[beav]

the bulgarians are abt 10 mil. and mostly slavic

[HatredForMankind]

Modern Bulgarians have nothing to do with Turkics except for the name. Just like the Germanic name "Rus" doesn't make Russians Germans, name Bulgar doesn't make the Bulgarians Turks. Just understand this and stop conflating historical nomenclature and regions.

[Teknolog]

The first Bulgars were Turkic and also the name itself is Turkic. Todays Bulgarians are mostly slavic. The name remained but Turkic impact has shrank strongly

[nanculito]

The Slavs are an ethnolinguistic group, not an ethnic one. Until the 7th-10th centuries, there is no evidence that such an ethnic group existed anywhere. The Slavs as a linguistic group originate from the mixing of many peoples, such as Balts, Germans, Celts, Thracians - Illyrians, Greeks, Sarmatians - Gets and Romans around the lower Danube and in Pannonia. Bulgarians in old historical documents are described as Getae, Goths, Huns, Tribals and never as Slavs or Turks! Genetic studies of Bulgarians absolutely confirm the mainly local Balkan origin of Bulgarians and their admixture with Gauls, Romans, Scythians and Germans.

G2a haplogroup is not dominant in Bulgarians. They are not descendents of Neolithic Farmers. You are talking nonsense. Come on, people, what are you doing? Bulgarian carry 20% I2a2 younger European Mesolithic haplogroup like Serbs. Bulgarian carry + 25% of E- V13 haplogroup known as Meditheranian haplogroup. This haplogroup mutant of E1b1b arrived in Monte Negro in European Neolithic from central Europe. This haplogroup descended from Serbs in Monte Negro who carry 27% of E- V13. E-V13 haplogroup beside G2a is haplogroup of Mikenians. These two haplogroup are core haplogrups of Ancient Greeks, but they are not haplogroups of today Greeks. These haplogroups arrived 3000 years before Greeks from South Italy invaded Balkan. Today, Greeks are descendants of Greeks Hellens from Anatolia who invaded Balkan from South Italy ocuping invading Balkan in time of Roman Empire and later as Byzantines. Haplogroup I2a2 and E-V13 belong to Serbs, so 45% of Bulgarians are Serbs. Bulgarians, in comparison with Serbs, carry qute highe conc. of J2a and R1b-ht35 haplogroup. These haplogroups are from Anatolia and Caucasian Greeks or Greeks Hellens haplogroup. I assume that J2a and R1b-ht35 haplogroups were implanted in Bulgaria as in Albania, Macedonia, and Romania. Byzantines used to implant Greeks from South Italy around Balkan. I assume that G2a haplogrup is not more than 6% in Greec and simmilar in Bulgaria. Check the site

MODERN BULGARIANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TURKS. OLD BOLGHARS WERE TURKS. They (BOLGHARS) were a conquering and nomadic people numbering about 20.000. Nothing when compared to a sea of settled and agricultural population of Thracians and Seven Slavic Tribes living in lands they conquered. Bolgars were assimilated among Thraco-Slavs but their name stuck. Just like Franks (German tribe) conquered Celto-Roman population of Gallia, but assimilated by locals, their name was stuck. The same situtation. The French are not Franks, Bulgarians are not Bulgars. Simple.

[motorslav]

Linguistics wise - Slavic with some additives from other language groups;
Name of the country - likely Turkic;
Genetically - A lot of things …;
Culinary - I guess what people in the west would call Greek / Turkish:
Historically - Don’t even ask … it’s old and complicated;

[CarolA-xeoq]

Bulgarians are SLAVIC and Thracian. To call us Turkic is untrue and offensive. We do not look alike those people, come on.

[Sedemosemtyson]

Bulgarians ware never turkic our ancestors are more of Persian background

[xAnononAx]

"The Bulgars, led by Asparuh, attacked from the lands of Old Great Bulgaria and permanently invaded the Balkans in the late 7th century. They established the First Bulgarian Empire, victoriously recognised by treaty in 681 AD by the Byzantine Empire."
"The Bulgars (also Bulghars, Bulgari, Bolgars, Bolghars, Bolgari, [1] Proto-Bulgarians[2]) were Turkic semi-nomadic warrior tribes that flourished in the Pontic–Caspian steppe and the Volga region between the 5th[3] and 7th centuries."
So both yes and no. The Turks there were heavily assimilated by the Slavs that had migrated and established themselves there before them and barely have anything in common with Turkic people anymore. Same thing can be said for the Turks in Anatolia who were assimilated by the people who lived in Anatolia prior. Genetically at least.
