19th century maps[edit]

I've removed a number of 19th century ethnographic maps from the article. They are riddled with inaccuracies and very outdated. They have no place in this article, or just about anywhere in a serious encyclopedia. Khirurg (talk) 05:27, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Category:Slavic countries and territories[edit]

It is currently being proposed that Category:Slavic countries and territories be deleted. This article is related to that category. The relevant discussion is located at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 January 8#Countries and territories by language family. The discussion would benefit from input from editors with a knowledge of and interest in Bulgarians. Krakkos (talk) 11:16, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Population in Moldova[edit]

The article's infobox gives the population of Bulgarians in Moldova as 79,000. This is sourced to this page, which links to several spreadsheets, but as far as I'm able to see from the relevant one, the number of Bulgarians is 65,662. I can't see how one can arrive at the large figure (unless, bizarrely, the numbers are lumped together with the 14,000 who did not declare their ethnicity). Alternatively, this might include numbers for Transnistria, but these will themselves then need to be sourced. Anyone know what's going on? – Uanfala (talk) 21:35, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recent genetic studies - request for an edit[edit]

To add content and reliable relevant sources:

Recent genetic studies suggest that modern Bulgarians carry genes of the Thracians and Proto-Bulgarians (Bulgars). Contemporary Bulgarians are genetically closer to Proto-Bulgarians, but also to Thracians. Bulgarians and Proto-Bulgarians have no genetic similarities with either the Turks, or Turkic and Altaic populations. Western Eurasian origin is suggested by Mitochondrial DNA both for ancient (proto-) and modern Bulgarians, as well as a genetic similarity between them. Aris N. Poulianos also states that Thracians, like modern Bulgarians, belonged mainly to the Aegean anthropological type. ^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] MiltenR (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
