The proto-bulgars originated close to the Magyars somewhere in the eurasian steppes, but the proto-bulgarian language was Turkic, not Finno-Ugric. Later on when the bulgarian kings moved to the present day Bulgaria they wanted to differentiate themselves from the strong greek influence through Byzantine, because the christianity was brought into Bulgaria through the greek language.
The only available alternative was Old Church Slavonic[^], so that's how slavonic became the official language in Bulgaria and proto-bulgarian became exinct.
Neither language had any resemblance to Magyar or Hungarian at any point

First proto-bulgars were not speaking anything close to Turkic language or with any relation to it. They were slovac tribes united to protect themself from the common enemies. It is believed they came somewhere from the west and when they reached Dabube they spit in two. One part of the tribes remain here, the climate was good and there were many grasslands for the horses. the proto-bulgars were warriors using mainly horses. They were wearing helmets with horse hair on top. I have seen old bulgarian language and it has nothing similar to turkish or any language from Turkic group.
The bulgarians were baptised by knyaz(something like king, but not exactly ) Boris I in 9th century from Constantinople . He had a choice Rome or Constantinople and it was more of a political decision. Later The first kingdom of Bulgaria was official a kingdom with a king. Because of the baptism the bulgarian kingdom was recognized into a kingdom with a king and not only country with knyaz for a ruler.
The only interaction with turkish and greek languages were during the Ottoman rule continued for 500 years. If the bulgarians really had any connections with them they would be happy for something like that, but instead of that they were slaves and slaughtered like animals.
Batak massacre
Just a small example of the slaughters.
Bulgarians and Turks have nothing in common exept for some shared unpleasant history. Its the same with greeks. We are closer to russians instead with turks.
Point of that whole post is that not all what people write in wikipedia is true.
Oh one more thing, bulgarians find this really offensive saying we have something in common with turks, so please in future check your sources.

Ah the old Russian brainwashing. Bulgars are slavs therefore rusian. Bull-crap my dear.
From the old communist times.
Here, read something, a list of old bulgar words preserved in the modern Bulgarian language:

I can tell the same about the turks all about wanting land and our dark colored "brothers" from India brought to Bulgaria during the communism.
I prefer to believe in the close connection to russians because both nations are naturally with white color of the skin (we don't count the dark colored "brothers" from India)
Do you know how many words sound the same way in bulgarian and russin and how many of the bulgarian sound the same in turkish.
How old i am ? I was a small baby when communism "ended".

If you choose to remain ignorant, it is your decision really. Otherwise I recommend to peruse some history books on the matter.
There was a Slavic population in old Bulgaria, but they were only one of the three components, the reason why you speak a Slavic language today is because when they had to choose a language for church prayers (and state writings) the options were either greek or old Slavonic.
The bulgars didn't have a translation of the bible or any developed alphabet for that matter and wrote in greek letters. Just like todays polish and czech slavs write in latin alphabet. Old slavonic was also a church approved language. So to unite the three ethnicities, bulgar, thracian and slav, an official language was established and it happened to be slavonic for the aforemetioned reasons.
Our remaining proto-ancestors who didn't move to Europe live today in Tatarstan and Chuvash republic. No historian will tell you otherwise.

What i learned from history i know that at first the church was using greek for prayers but later they started using bulgarian because the common people didn't understand a word. This happened during king Simeon I rule the younger son of Boris the first. Right after the bulgarians were baptized few years later the bulgarian language was used during the prayers.
My point is they were using already bulgarian before the baptism when greek come into the picture.

Unfortunate curious mind I have, I shouldn’t have but I did look. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

An interesting aside, because the word anyád [your mother] appears in so many obscene phrases, when you are talking about someone's mother you always use an affectionate adjective like darling, sweet or dear. Omitting the adjective is tantamount to a deceleration of war.

I know nothing about Czech but I do not the Magyar is unrelated to it. In fact, it is unrelated to every bloody language you can bloody think of.
I think there is a rare dialect spoken only during Thursday afternoon thunderstorms on Betelgeuse Seven that is related. Betelgeuse Seven does not Thursdays.

As a music addict I need music on my ears to get anything productive done, and I need new stuff every once in a while. I found a great online shop, CeDe (they ship to switzerland only, I guess) and I'm already baffled with Awe since they manage to get the stuff shipped within less than two hours - No idea how they do that, but I guess there are Pet monkeys involved. Now, fellow addicts, how do you get your stuff delivered in other countries?

Take a walk (25 minutes), spend 2-3 hours to pick something (not always), take a walk (25 minutes)...

I prefer the comfort of CeDe, especially since the 'normal' CD shops around here seem to be filled up with 'modern' crap, and not the stuff I listen to (Dropkick Murphys, Gaslight Anthem, Chuck Ragan, and so on...).
I take the walk once I received the CDs

I want a CD, because I don't want Apple's stupid DCMA protection - It's nice for the Studios, but I don't wanna be tied to my iPod to listen to music for the rest of my life. Spotify may be nice as well, but I prefer to own the stuff I pay for.

I'm amazed that cds still live in the minds of folks much younger than me. I can remember someone in a record shop telling me "cds will never catch on". I have been going to the same shop in Perth (in various locations) for nearly all of the 42 years they have been in existence. I have bought vinyl records then cds and now even vinyl records again from not only the same business but the same staff. I have used the internet also particularly from Europe and the UK. Unfortunately cd cases often break in transit which is why I prefer to pick them up myself.
