2018-04-18 21:48:35 UTC  

Heavily generalized.

2018-04-18 21:48:42 UTC

2018-04-18 21:49:31 UTC  

I know of it

2018-04-18 21:49:38 UTC  

Actually you can just observe

2018-04-18 21:51:19 UTC  

With the case of slovene "betatism" which happens to shift the letter v into b bulgar becomes logical meaning "vulgar" you might think thats where the term comes from but it's just linguistic coinsidence. Considering the slovenians still use the classic "bolgar" name it's easily recognizable at this point.
Volga-r means "man from the shores of lake Volga"
