First Bulgarians came to Hungary in the 17th century, to the Banat region, now divided between Yugoslavia and Romania. They were Catholic Bulgarians, and developed a new literary version of Bulgarian, written with Latin letters. Now, they are still a few thousands of people in the Romanian part of Banar, who still speak Bulgarian. The greatest wave of Bulgarian emigration to Hungary was at the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. Interestingly, 95 % of them came from the Veliko Tarnovo region in the northern part of Bulgaria. Most of them are from two villages in Bulgaria: Draganovo and Polikraishte
