no need to worry
Yes, there was a tribe that came from Asia that wasnt Slavic and they mixed up with the slavics+Original tribe(Trakians) that already lived in the lands of what is Bulgaria today- and all those 3 tribes formed Bulgaria - out of the 3 slavics were the most though- that's why the language Bulgaria adopted was the Slavic. In Bulgarian we call them
praBulgari or I think in english it is
protoBulgarians .. but maybe they can also be called Bulgars in english - am not 100% sure. But
freds the slavic tribes also came from the East
the Ural... as far as i remember (my memory might be not too fresh) but i remember reading Asia
I understand the language codes - I've seen it being refered as serbo-croatian a lot too... the reason i said it was- sounded to me when I quoted you that you were refering to groups of people and not language groups, like: 'the serbo-croatians and the bulgars' .. you know what i mean, like: the Serbs, the Croatians and the Bulgarians... instead of: The serbo-croatian language group or the bulgarian language group
