2 days ago there was a Torlak festival in the village Chuprene. Here are pictures: netinfo.bg/photo/2008.19.04chuprene/I couldn't translate for me the title of the festival and I found this interesting article - www.temanews.com/index.php?p=tema&iid=11&aid=119It contains lots of information about the Torlaks. I wonder if anyone fluent in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian reads "Kada kum prase i ti vrechu", how would you translate it? The answer can be found in the long article If anybody doesn't know who the Torlaks are - they are an ethnographic group which lives in Serbia and Bulgaria.

You should mention that Torlaks live in western part of BG. You may find such dialects in the regions south, north and west of Sofia. Shopski and banski are some examples. Ppl of the western regions usually speak a strange peasant dialect, reaminding a lot serb or macedonian speech.
