I am not familiar with the language of Pomaks in Bulgaria, as I've never been to Bulgaria. But I have met Pomaks from Turkey, who tell met they are not Bulgarian and they don't speak Bulgarian.

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?

Again speaking bullshit like usual.

Toska, that is quite a bold statement of yours.
Well, I have to prove you wrong.
There`s always been Christians in The Rhodopes.
And there`s tons of records that prove it. They even had their Christian religious books translated in the Rhodope dialect from Greek in the early 1800s. And as the Cyrillic alphabet was not yet revived and widely in use, their religious books were written with Greek letters.
Take a look. This is an article from the late 19th c on the Rhodope dialects. As you can see these dialects were spoken not only by Pomaks, but by Christian Bulgarians too.
Same language. Guess what it is?
