Turks in
Bulgaria
In Bulgaria, Turks are around 859,000. This is 9.8% of
the country's population of 8,769,000. They lived scattered
in Bulgaria, and are remnants of the Rumelian Turks of the
Ottoman Empire which dominated the lower Balkans until the
late 19th century. Of the estimated 7 million Rumelian Turks
who had lived in the Balkan region at the turn of the
century, most emigrated to Turkey, leaving only about 1.5
million in all of the Balkan states.
Regarding spellings, look at the table below, but taking
in mind that the where Macedonian is mentioned, Bulgarian
should appear (the same transliterated signs are used in
Macedonian and Bulgarian):

Turkiarrak
Bulgarian
Bulgarian turkiarrak ia milioi bat lagun dira, populazio
osoaren %10 ia-ia. Gutxiengo nabarmena, beraz, baina
eskualde propiorik gabea, oso zabaldurik baitaude: Garai
bateko Rumeliako Turkiarren azken multzo handiak dira. 19.
mendean, Rumeliako Turkiarrak 7 milioi inguru ziren
Balkanetan, baina gehienak Turkiara joan ziren, eta 1.5
milioi geratu ziren soilik..
Idazkerari dagokionez, bulgariera transliteratzeko eta
turkiera idazteko behar diren zeinu berezi batzuk beheko
taulan adierazi bezala ageri dira orri honetan. [Taulan
Mazedoniera irakurriko duzu, baina Bulgariarentzat berdin
balio dute zeinu horiek].
