You literally copypasted a message saying we lived in slav-lands which were majorily independent of byzantine rule in this post here.
>lands initially out of Byzantine control and independent.
You can't even lie consistently.
>irrelevant
Lmao, it's not, that's one of the trademarks of culture.
That is culture at it's purest.
Greek monks invented the alphabet.
You changed it a little and used it and think you "invented" it
We change it a little as well.
But bulgars and their culture weren't slavic.
Not until late middle ages, when they started being more and more slavic.
Which you took from slavs on the balkans.
We don't use the bulgarian alphabet, we use a changed cyrillic which was invented by greek monks.
They may at the time lived in what was Bulgaria, but they were greek nevertheless.
And the alphabet they based it upon was also invented by the greeks, glagolithic.
So, no, only bulgars use bulgar alphabet, nobody else.
At the beggining is when you adopt culture.
Yours was tatar and you adopted slavic.
We had our slavic culture and mixed it with greek because orthodox and catholic because there were catholic here, quite a bit of them.
Dusan even considered and wrote to the pope he would be willing to convert to catholicism if he named him the leader of the crusaders to get constantionople.
Wow big deal, you won some battles we won some battles.
We rekt you in 1330 so hard, bulgaria never again held any relevant influence in the balkans.
Still doesn't.
Ruled by a khan, worshippied tengri, all of that matters, that's your culture.
You were not slavic, the bulgarian empire especially the "first bulgarian empire" was not slavic at all culturally.
You adopted the slavic culture from these lands, nobody stole it from you, you stole it from everybody else.
