Don’t blame your stance, when one considers easy to get info from Wikipedia and the general error of locals of the 19th century calling Slavs Bulgars, especially from Greek locals who termed them as a lesser people ‘Boulgaroi’ (Dirty, Filithy, Underclass). This terminology eventually got to be replaced with the nation state of Bulgaria. This terminology even made its way up to Bosnia where Russian travellers classed the people as ‘Bulgarian’.
Language, wow, where do l start, if one analyses this childish comparison of Standard Bulgarian to Standard Macedonian of Prilep dialect then yes there are similarities but what about other dialects? Northern Macedonian dialects or Eastern Macedonian dialects? The Northern and Eastern dialects could be considered closer to Serbian than Bulgarian, hell, even Western Bulgarian dialects from the Iskar River is closer to Serbian than it is to Standard Bulgarian.
Anyway, l think it’s dumb to call it Bulgarian and do these analyses because it completely does not take into account culture, migration and history. In a technicality, all those dialects and languages are Serbian, Serbian has a much more complex grammar than them and secondly the language of Old Bulgarian was a central Asian Altaic tongue, not Slavic at the arrival of Asparuckh.

Also this can be seen with Serbs, especially Macedonians of Northern and Eastern Dialects and Western Bulgars (west of Iskar) you know, ones who use ON, ONA & ONI etc…
Again it’s dumb, both Bulgarian and Macedonian, what are classified as languages are just ‘Serbian Dialects’. How could a simpler dialect, like Bulgarian, be the father of Serbian (a far complex Slavic tongue). Old Bulgarian is a language of Central Asian Turks, like GAUGAZI, in fact historians call the Gaugazi direct descendants of Asparukh.

Balkans need some immigration from outside Europe to temper down local nationalism Romania has a surge in nationalism now as well, and it's frightening. maybe if big cities would be like 40% non-Romanian on average it would help keep Romanians less preoccupied with such fantasies as "nation-states"

I see Romania and for Romania I can tell that majority ethnic group has no respect for minority native groups (which are not minority in their own territory, actually), and not only that, but they celebrate their flag, anthem etc a lot, and do very provocative stuff like gathering thousands of people from another region for a display of power in front of other ethnic groups. if even Romanians, Europe's poorest country etc has such fantasies of grandeur, it's laughable

I don't live in Ukraine. do you know where Romania was just a few years ago? they didn't have enough food most of the days in the towns/cities, relatives were coming to countryside for food on weekends. all the recent development is because of corporate jobs, but don't think that those numbers are relevant for the countryside. in the meantime they've got good wages in the city, but the countryside (half of the population of Romania, as Romania is by far the most rural country in Europe) is on Medieval standards. my parents still have an outhouse and no running water, for example, they drink from a well. anyway, the point was Romanians' rabid nationalism
