Bulgar tribe - Bulgar (English spelling) Bulghār

Japanese: ブルガール族 - ブルガールぞく（英語表記）Bulghār

A Turkic people who played a role in the formation of the Bulgarian nation and state. The first document mentioning them dates back to the 4th century, when they lived a nomadic life in the steppes of southern Eastern Europe. They were later dispersed by attacks from the Goths in the 5th century and the Avars in the mid-6th century, but in the first half of the 7th century an alliance was formed among the Bulgar tribes who lived mainly in the Azov region and the lower Volga region, and they were ruled by Kubrat (reigned 584-642). After his death, this alliance broke up, and in the second half of the 7th century they were conquered by the Khazar Khaganate (Khazar people), and some of them became tributary states.

ブルガリアの民族･国家形成に関与したトルコ系民族。彼らに言及した最初の文献は4世紀のものであるが，当時彼らは東ヨーロッパ南部のステップ地方で遊牧生活を営んでいた。その後5世紀にゴート族，6世紀中ごろにはアバールの攻撃をうけて離散したが，7世紀前半にはアゾフ地方とボルガ川下流地域を中心に住んでいたブルガール諸族間に同盟が成立して，クーブラートKubrat(治世584‐642)が支配した。彼の死後この同盟は分裂し，7世紀後半にはハザル･カガン国(ハザル族)によって征服され，一部は服従して貢納国となった。
