Bulgarians in Albania

Bulgarians are people who come from Bulgaria, a country in Europe. Albania is another country in Europe, next to Bulgaria.

Sometimes, Bulgarians go to live in Albania because they want to try something new or maybe they have jobs there. When they live in Albania, they are known as Bulgarian Albanians.

Even though they have different backgrounds, Bulgarian Albanians are treated the same as other Albanians by the Albanian government and people. They speak Bulgarian at home, but they also learn Albanian so they can communicate with everyone else around them.

In some places in Albania, there are schools that teach in the Bulgarian language for children of Bulgarian Albanians. This helps them keep their culture and history alive.

Overall, Bulgarian Albanians are just regular people who live in Albania, but they have a special connection to Bulgaria through their history and traditions.
