Volga Bulgar language, do you understand anything? Do you think bulgarians have turkic heritage?

  1. As far as culture and traditions, there’s nothing Turkic in them. About DNA, all the Balkans have some Turkic/Asian genes, the Bulgarians are not different in any way.

  2. Yes, I understand *some* words, because they are same in *Turkish*.

    The narrator can’t pronounce properly words.

    There are pure *arabic* words/sentences like: هو الحي **He [Allah] is alive** لا يموت **Not dead/ never will die** / و كل حي سيموت **and every alive [creature] soon will die.** / رحمة الله عليه **Let the mercy of Allah be upon him** …

  3. This video is a mix of various steppe Turkic languages from later period, mostly Volga Tatar/kipchak, unrelated to the supposed Bulgar language which remains unattested and theoretical.

  4. There are almost 7 centuries passed, and still I can understand a lot:

    İdil/İtil (volga) Turkic: Atil suvi aka turur
    Anatolian Turkish: İdil/İtil suyu aka durur

    İT: Kaya tübi kaka turur
    AT: Kaya dibi kaka durur

    İT: Balık talim baka turur
    AT: Balık … baka durur…

  5. The problem with reconstructed old languages is that they are, well, reconstructed. That said, we speak Slavic language nowadays. And even if some words are familiar, that is probably due to the words existing in Turkish, not becouse of some remnants of the old language.
