Volga Bulgar
Volga Bulgars or Idel Bulğar – were Turkic peoples that been part of Attila’s Hunnic Empire, then were part of Great Bulgaria of Khan Kubrat. Kubrat had five sons: Batbayan, Kotrag, Asparuh, Kuber and Alcek. After the collapse of the Great Bulgaria, each of the brothers left with their people to other lands. Kotrag left to Volga Region, where his descendants created Volga Bulgaria. Modern ancestors of Volga Bulgars is Tatar, Chuvash and Bashkir peoples.
The brutal and bloody struggle between Timur and Tokhtamysh had extremely serious consequences for the peoples of the Volga Region and the Bulgars in particular.
The tribes that survived the defeat and ruin rushed to the northeast, behind the Kama and the Belaya, hoping in the forests of these places to find reliable protection from the hordes of Timur and Tokhtamysh. During this period, part of the Bulgars relocated to the territory of Bashkiria, which was subjected to the strongest defeat from the troops of Timur. Gradually, some of these Bulgarian families (Bular, Baylar, Eldyat, Yurmi, Yurmat, Äney, Gayna, etc.) joined the Bashkir people, and some began to be called Tatars.
The Volga Bulgars with the adoption of Islam were divided into left-bank (those who did not accept Islam) and right-bank ones. The left-bank became known as the Suvars, and subsequently the Chuvashes, and the right-bank became known the Muslim Bulgars, and subsequently the Bashkirs and Tatars. With the adoption of Islam, the Volga Bulgaria became part of the Abbasid Caliphate.
Here are the texts of the right-bank Bulgars, and therefore they have an Arabian and Persian borrowings from Islam.
