[@BalkanMode]

I’ve always wondered whether Kazan meant what I thought it meant - the huge cooking pot, “boiler”. In Bulgaria we have the cities of Kazanlık (Казанлък) and (Tatar) Pazardzik. We also have the tradition of güreş (wrestling). I have an Olympic wrestling silver medalist uncle. As a native Turkish speaker I could understand most of the bits Tatar spoken in the clip. Thanks for these informative clips.

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

You are Bulgarian?

[@BalkanMode]

@@BudgetGainsByJJ No. A “native Turkish speaker” is not Bulgarian.

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

@@BalkanMode of course, but you said you’re from Bulgaria that’s why I considered

[@BalkanMode]

@@BudgetGainsByJJ Today the label “Bulgarian” refers to native speakers of a Slavic dialect. They should not be confused with Turkic Bulgars who ceased to exist centuries ago. I’m a Turk, the ethnic group which founded Tatar Pazardzik and Kazanlık. The Bulgarians took out the “Tatar” part and it’s now known as Pazardzik only. It means “small market/bazaar”.

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

@@BalkanMode I see. I’m Macedonian (Slav) I was curious as to know what you think of those that identify as Bulgarian but speak a Slavic language like mine? According to history and geneticists: we are one of the same people with the Bulgarians, but I’m unaware if we are Slavs or Slavic speaking Turkic people

Not sure if you're referring to the general architecture of seen around the city, or the little traditional wooden homes. As a person from south Russia, in the clips from around the city, I can see some familiar looking buildings and others that have different elements and you can see their culture's influence. It's a great mix! 😄 I'm just not at expert on the traditional wooden houses, so I can't comment much of specifics of their structures, but you can also see cultural elements on the Tatar ones.
