interestingly in Romania the Bulgarians were called Serbs until maybe mid-20th century - now the Bulgarians in Romania are fully assimilated and the Romanians descending from Bulgarians don't even know it anymore, but the extent of the places (villages etc) called Sîrbi, Sîrghi, Sîrbului etc shows the extent of Bulgarian presence in Wallachia and Moldova's territory. all those named Sîrbu probably descend from a Bulgarian as well. they were known for growing and selling vegetables.
