Bulgaria folklore, ruchenitsa

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thank you for this!!!

Neascu 's letter starts with:
I bogom darovanomu jopan ....
Mnogo zdrave ot Neascu ot Dlagopole.
From god gifted ... Much health from Nascu from Dlagopole.
And it ends again in Bulgarian;
I bog  te veselit
And let god bring you happiness.

with the first part I agree, but the Empire was Romanian-Bulgarian, not just Bulgarian, and was also called afer the neme of his emperors - ASANESTI brohers. In Walahia was used the Kirilik alphabet, but we didnt speak Bulgarian.

::))) I really do not know who tells you these lies and how did they come up with Romanian-Bulgarian Empire when the first time the word Romanian shows up in the 19 century. Before that noone never heard about that there was only TRANSYLVANIA and WALAHIA - no romania my brother.

There was only Bulgarian Empire and Transylvania and Walahia were part of it. Our border was with the magyars. That is why  there BANAT Bulgarians in Transylvania even today.

I have never heard about Bulgaria being called after some mystycal romanian brothers -Asanesti. I think only in Romania they teach you that. Actually you will find it in any historical book written by any author except obviously romanian that BULGARIA is the oldest country in EUROPE that bears  the same name since its establishment.

Old Great Bulgaria or Great Bulgaria (Παλαιά Μεγάλη Βουλγαρία in Byzantine chronicles) was а term used by Byzantine historians to refer to Onoguria during the reign of the Bulgar ruler Kubrat in the 7th century north of the Caucasus mountains

Oldbulgarian=Old churchslavonic
Glagolik alphabet created by Kiril and Metodius
Cyrillic alphabet created by Kliment  Ohridski in Bulgaria Preslav during the reign of Car Simeon Veliki-Emperor of Bulgaria called king of bulgarians and greeks.

Bulgarian folklore is very old it comes partly from the traditions of the native inhabitants of our land -the thracians. Nestinari is a bulgarian tradition coming from them.
And yes Bulgarian language was official in Walahia. When a language is used in church and state affairs it is indeed the Official one in the country.

The only thing that may deceive you is the men's pants that are similar. The traditional turkish music has arabic and  oriental elements. The dancing Dervishi thats traditional turkish music that has nothing in common with Bulgarian folklore.
