The Bulgarians (Bulgarian: ???????, IPA: [b???g?ri]) are a South Slavic nation and ethnic group who speak Bulgarian and are native to Bulgaria and neighbouring regions. Historically, Bulgarians have lived between the Danube, the Agean, Adriatic, and Black Seas in southeastern Europe for over one thousand years. Today, most Bulgarians live in Bulgaria which is bordered by Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, and Turkey. Although the Bulgarian-inhabited territories spent centuries either as part of the Byzantine or the Ottoman Empire, Bulgarians maintained their identity through their Orthodox religion (for the majority), language and common ethnonym.
