Pomak language ?
Sv:
--- Quote from: Балканджия on September 28, 2010, 16:51 ---The idea of a Pomak language was born by the Pan Turkist who more and more to isolate Pomaks from their true relatives. They assumed that creation of a pomak language is the first step. The second step is to proove that it is a turkic language with slavic influence.

Actually, a study of Pomak shows it has more pure Slavic features than standard Bulgarian. That means Bulgarian was somehow corrupted (Simplified? Modernised? Turkified? Russified?) compared with Pomak language. And a casual review of postings about Pomak language on the net confirms that Pomaks are aware of this.
In looking at the Pomak latin script, it appears that there are several letters that don't exist in modern Bulgarian, but have Cyrillic equivallents. See this posting by a Slavic linguist.
Historically, this has led to interest in the study of the Slavic heritage preserved by Pomaks. For example Veda Slovana (1874) has gotten a lot of attention among Slavic scholars.
Another thing is clear as well. Unlike Bulgarians who use the name of the Turkik name "Bulgar", Pomaks have a Slavic name for themselves.
So who's promoting the Pan-Turkish agenda more? Bulgarians who call themselves with the name of a Turkish tribe of old, or Pomaks who use their own Slavic name?

Absolutely true. Even the researchers whom i read point out that factor.
--- Quote ---The Christian Bulgarians still speak the same dialects like the Pomaks. And these are Bulgarian dialects.

Being a bulgar? Firstly Let's describe the differences between nation, religion and language. According to me christians who live in rhodope mountains were possibly ancestors of muslims but that doesn't mean they are all bulgarians.
In the midst of all this if pomak language restructured i bet that it will not be fool-proofly as like as macedonian.
Here is an article which i found on e-library called "Bilingual speech and language ecology in Greek Thrace: Romani
and Pomak in contact with Turkish" by EVANGELIA ADAMOU it's realted with Turkification of pomak language.

I saw in my life time a foreigner to teach me who I am ??? You are russian, and you know nothing about us. Russians and their puppet polititions made enough troubles in the Balkans. Look your Russian language and history and please don't care about ours. Ok?

Slaven, I do not know whether you are familiar with Pomak speech in Bulgaria, but I feel like you know it only by Google.
If you walk through Yakoruda, then through Chech and later in Central Rhodopes, will establish the following, in all places speak different dialekt.Pomaks in Yakoruda speaks as Christians in Yakoruda, Muslims in Chech speaks equally with Christians in Chech.In Central Rhodopes pomaks and Christians also speaks equally.But between pomaks speech in Yakoruda,pomaks speech in Chech and pomak speech in the Central Rhodopesqor, or,if you prefer,pomak speech in Theteven Municipality-there are many diferences.And I ask the task-which one is "Pomak language and who is not is it?Or maybe it's time to think about different dialects of Pomak language?

Actually, I am not Russian. But I do know who you are: a chauvinist who doesn't like other Slavs. Also, you are a kind of guy who likes to tell other ethnic groups who live in other countries what to do. Why you think you have the right to tell Pomaks who don't even live in Bulgaria what to call their language?
