Population in Moldova

[edit]

The article's infobox gives the population of Bulgarians in Moldova as 79,000. This is sourced to this page, which links to several spreadsheets, but as far as I'm able to see from the relevant one, the number of Bulgarians is 65,662. I can't see how one can arrive at the large figure (unless, bizarrely, the numbers are lumped together with the 14,000 who did not declare their ethnicity). Alternatively, this might include numbers for Transnistria, but these will themselves then need to be sourced. Anyone know what's going on? – Uanfala (talk) 21:35, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recent genetic studies - request for an edit

[edit]

To add content and reliable relevant sources:

Recent genetic studies suggest that modern Bulgarians carry genes of the Thracians and Proto-Bulgarians (Bulgars). Contemporary Bulgarians are genetically closer to Proto-Bulgarians, but also to Thracians. Bulgarians and Proto-Bulgarians have no genetic similarities with either the Turks, or Turkic and Altaic populations. Western Eurasian origin is suggested by Mitochondrial DNA both for ancient (proto-) and modern Bulgarians, as well as a genetic similarity between them. Aris N. Poulianos also states that Thracians, like modern Bulgarians, belonged mainly to the Aegean anthropological type. [1][2][3][4][5] MiltenR (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
