Ова е на грчки, познато е дека пишувале така по нивното пристигнување тука.
Гледам дека си запнал со Омуртаг и со Крум, јас побарав од тебе ако можеш да ми најдеш хроники на Бугари пред нивното доаѓање на Балканот. Еве да те прашам уште нешто веќе ако одиме со таа логика, зошто Анатолските Турци се бели и се разликуваат од останатите Турци, а се многу послични со балканските народи?
Сакате да ги претставите протобугарите како бела ариевска раса која мигрирала од тлото на Иран во денешна Европа. Факт е дека протобугарите имале монголоидно потекло и се поврзуваат со Хуните, а денешните Бугари кои живеат на Балканот и Чувашите од Волга со кои заедно се претставувате како потомци баш на тие Бугари немате никаква врска со нив, не само што немате никаква врска со нив вие немате никаква врска ни помеѓу себе. Според генетските испитувања кај чувашите е доминантна R1A хаплогрупата која е класична источноевропска или словенска, додека кај вас е доминантна I2a хаплогрупата која е карактеристично балканска и медитеранска.
Значи ти треба да ми објасниш една работа како е возможно вие и Чувашите да говорите различен јазик, да имате различна култура и традиција, да сте различни генетски, а да бидете еден народ, тоа не ми е јасно? А мене ми е глупо да ти ги читам твоите романтичарски истории, како вие Бугарите сте ариевски народ и затоа еве ќе ти постирам еден неутрален извор кој ќе ти објасни многу работи.
The Bulgars (also Bolgars, Bulghars, or Proto-Bulgarians) were a people known in eastern European history during the Middle ages. Their ethnicity is uncertain but most scholars posit that they were a Turkic people with some Iranian elements that migrated to Europe from Central Asia in 4th century.[1][2] In the 7th century they established two states in the Pontic-Caspian steppe: Great Bulgaria, which spanned between the Caspian and Black Seas, and Volga Bulgaria built on the territory that is nowadays part of the Russian Republics of Tatarstan and Chuvashia. Likewise, they imposed themselves in the Balkans as the elite ruling class of the Danube Bulgar Khanate.[3][4][5][6] In each of these regions they were gradually assimilated over a period of centuries by the local ethnic groups, giving rise to several modern peoples claiming descent from them: Volga Tatars[7] (see Bulgarism) and Chuvash,[7][8] Balkars and Bulgarians.
Traditionally, historians have associated the Bulgars with the Huns, who migrated out of Central Asia. However, the evidence for this has not been definitive, and the debates have continued to this day. Genetic and anthropological researches have shown that the large steppe confederations of history were not ethnically homogeneous, but rather unions of multiple ethnicities such as Turkic, Ugric and Eastern Iranic among others. Skeletal remains from Central Asia, excavated from different sites dating between the 15th century BC to the 5th century AD, have been analyzed. The distribution of east and west Eurasian lineages through time in the region is concordant with the available archaeological information. Prior to the 13th - 7th century BC, all samples belong to European lineages; while later, an arrival of East Asian sequences that coexisted with the previous genetic substratum was detected.[10]
Both the present-day Bulgarians and the Chuvash far to the east in the Urals are believed to originate partly from the Bulgars (as for the Chuvash, there are at least two theories about their genetic origins). However, according to DNA data, the genetic backgrounds of the two populations are clearly different. The Chuvash have an Eastern European and some Mediterranean genetic background (probably coming from the Caucasus), while the Bulgarians have a classical Mediterranean (probably coming from the Balkans) composition. It is possible that only a cultural and low genetic Bulgar influence was brought into the two regions, without modifying the genetic background of the local populations.[11]
Ibn Fadlan who visited Volga Bulgaria in the 10th century describes the appearance of the Bulgars as "ailing" (pale) and "not ruddy" like the Vikings of Rus.[12]
Ascertaining the origin and the language of the Bulgars has been the subject of debate since the turn of the 20th century. The current leading theory[13] is that at least the Bulgar elite spoke a language that, alongside Khazar and Chuvash, was a member of the Oghuric branch of the Turkic language family.[14][15][16][17] This theory is supported, among other things, by the fact that some Bulgar words contained in the few surviving stone inscriptions[18] and in other documents (mainly military and hierarchical terms such as tarkan, bagatur, and probably khan and kanartikin - "prince", - appear to be of Turkic origin and written in Kuban alphabet of the Old Turkic script. Furthermore the Bulgar calendar had a 12 year cycle similar to the one adopted by Turkic and Mongolian peoples from the Chinese, with names and numbers that are deciphered as Turkic, and that the Bulgars' supreme god was apparently called Tangra, a deity widely known among the Turkic peoples under names such as Tengri, Tura etc.[19]
Some also point out the presence of a small number of Turkic loanwords in the Slavic Old Bulgarian language, and the fact that the Bulgars used an alphabet similar to the Turkic Orkhon script, although this alphabet has not been satisfactorily deciphered yet: fortunately, the Bulgar inscriptions were sometimes written in Greek or Cyrillic characters, most commonly in Greek, thus allowing the scholars to identify some of the Bulgar glosses. Contemporaneous sources like Procopius, Agathias and Menander called the Bulgars "Huns",[20] while others, like the Byzantine Patriarch Michael II of Antioch, called them "Scythians" or "Sarmatians", but this latter identification was probably due to the Byzantine tradition of naming peoples geographically. Due to the lack of definitive evidence, modern scholarship instead uses an ethnogenesis approach in explaining the Bulgars' origin.
"Further evidence culturally linking the Danubian Bulgar state to Turkic steppe traditions was the layout of the Bulgars' new capital of Pliska, founded just north of the Balkan Mountains shortly after 681. The large area enclosed by ramparts, with the rulers' habitations and assorted utility structures concentrated in the center, resembled more a steppe winter encampment turned into a permanent settlement than it did a typical Roman Balkan city."[21]
