As of 2019, Bulgarians are the main ethnic group and constitute 84.8% of the population. '''Turkish and Roma''' minorities account for 8.8 and 4.9%, respectively; some 40 smaller minorities account for 0.7%, and 0.8% do not self-identify with an ethnic group. These ethnic groups are not necessarily immigrants, but lived in the region for centuries.<ref>"Bulgaria", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria#Demographics, accessed 31 July 2021.</ref> | |||
===Eastern Rumelia=== | |||
*'''Eastern Rumelia''' was an autonomous province in the Ottoman Empire created in 1878. It ended in 1885, when it was united with the Principality of Bulgaria. Ethnic Bulgarians formed a majority of the population in Eastern Rumelia, but there were '''significant Turkish and Greek minorities.''' | |||
*There is little information on the actual population numbers of the different ethnic groups in '''Eastern Rumelia (now in Bulbaria)''' before 1878. | |||
*According to a British report before the 1877–1878 war, the non-Muslim population (consisting mostly of Bulgarians) of Eastern Rumelia (now part of Bulgaria) was about 60%, a proportion that grew '''due to the flight and emigration of Muslims''' during and after the war. | |||
*The 1878 census show a population of 815,946 people- 573,231 '''Bulgarians''' (70.29%), 174,759 '''Muslims''' (21.43%), 42,516 '''Greeks''' (5.21%), 19,524 '''Roma (Gypsies)''', 4,177 '''Jews''', and 1,306 '''Armenians'''. | |||
*The '''Greek''' inhabitants of Eastern Rumelia were concentrated on the coast, where they were strong in numbers, and certain cities in the interior such as Plovdiv (known in Greek as Philippopolis), where they formed a substantial minority. | |||
*Most of the Greek population of the region was '''exchanged with Bulgarians from the Greek provinces of Macedonia and Thrace''' in the aftermath of the Balkan Wars and World War I. | |||
*Eastern Rumelia was also inhabited by foreign nationals, most notably '''Austrians, Czechs, Hungarians, French people and Italians.'''<ref>"Eastern Rumelia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Rumelia, accessed 31 Julyn2021.</ref> | |||
==Emigration From Bulgaria== | ==Emigration From Bulgaria== | ||
<ref> | An estimated three million ethnic Bulgarians are dispersed around the world, the majority in Europe such as in neighboring nations of '''Romania, Greece, Serbia, Türkiye and North Macedonia'''. About 200,000 in '''the U.S.''', with 50,000 others in '''Canada''', 20,000 in '''Australia''', and 20,000 in '''Brazil'''. Other large Bulgarian diaspora communities are in '''France, Germany, Spain, Argentina, Italy, Russia and the United Kingdom.'''<ref>"List of diasporas," in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diasporas#B, accessed 31 July 2021.</ref> | ||
