Wikipedia: The Bulgarians (Bulgarian: българи, pronounced [ˈbɤɫɡɐri]) are a South Slavic people,, who are generally associated with the Republic of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian language. Emigration has resulted in Bulgarian minorities or immigrant communities in a number of other countries. The modern Bulgarians have descended from several main groups, which mixed in the Balkans during the 6th–10th century: Thraco-Byzantyne and Traco-Roman local population; Slavic invaders, who gave their language to the modern Bulgarians; and the Bulgars, from whom the ethnonym and the early statehood were inherited.
