Talk:Bessarabian Bulgarians

[Untitled]

The Bulgarian ethnic presence in Bessarabia dates since the Early Middle Ages

It's a bit anachronistic to name them Bulgarians, because there no "Bulgarians" yet back then. They were just "South Slavs". bogdan 12:52, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

The Bulgarian state as recognized by Byzantium was established in 681. Bessarabia was part of that state. The term "South Slavs" does not mean anything more than South Germans or South Gauls. There was no Yugoslavia in the medieval ages (if that's your line of thought). And no Rumania either. There was a Romania (Byzantium) but that was very different.

Yes, but Bulgarians as a people formed later (9th-10th century) on the basis of local South Slavic tribes and Bulgars. South Slavs is not a term used only for Yugoslavia, it's a general subdivision of the Slavs, like the East Slavs and West Slavs, depending mostly on the language. The end of the Early Middle Ages does include the formation of Bulgarians as a people, but is quite an extensive term that might be wrongly understood, as it begins in the 5th century. → Тодор Божинов / Todor Bozhinov → 20:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

The "South Slavs" arrived in Bessarabia in 5th and early 6th century. We know that by 550, they already reached the mouths of the Danube. Romanians arrived probably somtimes around 8th to 11th century, most likely in more than one wave. bogdan 20:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Of course they are Bulgarian, because they arrived from Bulgaria during the Ottoman yoke. Thus , they ar fully-fledged Bulgarian( the ready mix of Bulgar and Slav). Bulgarian spoken today in Besarabia is absolutely the same as in Bulgaria.
