I am not responding to this individual any longer but I could not let his comments go on this page without a final note. I have read a lot of materials on the subject and I have seen no scholarly work that associates the proto-Bulgar language with the Pamir group, except radical, Bulgarian nationalist propaganda that seeks to minimize associations with Turkey. Be that as it may, I never had any objection to this individual putting up his Pamir theory, or with linking the Bulgar article to the Iranian peoples category. What I objected to were his repeated attempts to remove the Bulgars from the Turkic category, on the grounds that there was "dispute" about their linguistic origin. He has a history of bullying other Wikipedia authors, including administrators of this site, and of making various threatening comments, which history is readily viewable . I encourage serious linguists to evaluate his claims and, where applicable, correct them.
