Pomak language ?
Тоска:
Slaven;
Thanks for all ;) its a kind of means to an end for registering our language
Sv:
I will convert the Bulgarian localization to this Pomak script and then there will be a forum interface in Pomak. Of course it may need editing (which someone who speaks Pomak can do). Since phpBB is one of the more popular forum scripts, it can be widely used.

Very well, you just proved the existence of Pomak language.
--- Quote from: Националист on May 27, 2010, 18:50 ---It's normal that you have changed your language through the years abroad, but it's all your problem that you don't speak your native language. Don't tell others to learn your language, learn the language of others !

So why do you tell others to learn your language? It appears Pomaks in Turkey have another language, and that is their native language.

Except you deny people the right to use their native language, which you admit is different than Bulgarian, so different that its speakers can not read Bulgarian.
This attitude is surely wrong. Nobody can deny anyone to use any language, thats simply wrong. Such an approach only causes resentment and anger.
It is also a fact that all Slavic languages are similar with minor grammatical variations but some substantial difference in writing systems. However, since they are called languages, it means even minor cases of difference can be termed 'language' rather than 'dialect'. Otherwise, you must accept that Bulgarian, Pomak, Polish and Czech are all dialects of one Slavic Language. You insist Bulgarian is a language not a dialect? In that case, lets have some respect for all language groups. Pomak language it is.

I don`t think so.

They speak the dialects from the different parts of Bulgaria they originated from. The Lovech Pomaks in Turkey speak a different dialect than the Macedonian Pomaks, yet different from the Rhodope Pomaks in Turkey. There is no one language, but different Bulgarian dialects.

I see you`re quite proficient in the history of the Bulgarian language... Think again! Аман от пишман разбирачи!
The modern Bulgarian language emerged in the mid 1800 as a synthetic language from all the dialects spoken in Bulgaria. It is written in Cyrillic. Pomaks in Turkey don`t study Cyrillic, that is why they cannot read Bulgarian. They speak the same dialects that are still spoken in Bulgaria by their former Christian neighbours.

Eurica! Then we have 10 000 languages in Bulgaria as every village speaks differently. Hallelujah!
