  • Bulgarians (Romanian: bulgari) are a recognized minority in Romania (Bulgarian: Румъния, Rumaniya), numbering 7,336 according to the 2011 Romanian census, down from 8,025 in 2002. Despite their low census number today, Bulgarians from different confessional and regional backgrounds have had ethnic communities in various regions of Romania, and during the Middle Ages Bulgarian culture has exerted considerable influence on its northern neighbour. According to one Bulgarian estimate, Romanian citizens of Bulgarian origin number around 250,000. Historically, Bulgarian communities in modern Romania have existed in Wallachia (Bulgarian: Влашко, transliterated: Vlashko), Northern Dobruja (Bulgarian: Северна Добруджа, translit. Severna Dobrudzha) and Transylvania (Bulgarian: Седмиградско, translit. Sedmigradsko). Currently, however, the Bulgarian community in present-day Romania that has retained most efficiently its numbers, social integrity and strong ethnic identity is that of the Banat Bulgarians, a Roman Catholic minority in the Banat who account for the bulk of the Bulgarian-identifying population of Romania. In Wallachia, there are only few Bulgarians who have preserved their national identity, though the numbers of those who speak Bulgarian and affirm to have Bulgarian ancestors is still high. Much of the Torlak-speaking Roman Catholic Krashovani who today form a part of the Croatian minority in Romania had declared themselves Bulgarian during the rule Austria-Hungary. The population of undisputed Bulgarian origin aside, Bulgarian researchers also claim that the Hungarian minority of the Székely in central Romania is of Magyarized Bulgar (Proto-Bulgarian) origin and the Șchei of Transylvania were Romanianized Bulgarians (a view also supported by Lyubomir Miletich and accepted by Romanian writers).

  • Les Bulgares constituent une minorité nationale de Roumanie et sont au nombre de 7 336 selon le recensement de 2011 Historiquement il a existé des communautés bulgares en Roumanie, en Valachie, dans le nord de la Dobroudja et en Transylvanie. Néanmoins actuellement les communautés bulgares ayant le plus conservé leur identité ethnique, sont les Bulgares du Banat, une minorité catholique. En Valachie, il n’y a que peu de Bulgares qui préservent toujours une identité bulgare, même si le nombre de ceux qui parlent bulgare et affirment avoir des ancêtres bulgares est élevé. Mise à part la population bulgare dont les origines sont admises par tous les chercheurs, certains auteurs bulgares revendiquent également les origines bulgares des Sicules, qui seraient des bulgares magyarisés, et celles des Șchei (slaves médiévaux de Roumanie), quant à eux roumanisés depuis des siècles.
