People from Romania and Bulgaria.

[Headtime]

Do the peoples of Romania and Bulgaria fall under a generic term like Slavic?

Or are they descended from entirely seperate ethnic groups. If so what would those be.

Thank you .

I'm writing something on their accession to the EU, and wondered if there was a generic term for people from that region. The two countries do border each other.

Bulgarians are South Slavic
Romanians are romanians or 'vlachs'.

Thank you.

nice one octavius..clueless, spread the word
I would say that romanian ancestors were ''daci'' and ''romans'' and therefore now, romanians are known as being latins( italy, france, spain, etc..)
