Bulgarian Folk Songs[note 2][note 3][note 4] is a collection of folk songs and traditions from the then Ottoman Empire, especially from the region of Macedonia, but also from Shopluk and Srednogorie, published in 1861 by the Miladinov brothers. The Miladinovs' collection remains one of the greatest single works in the history of Bulgarian folklore studies and has been republished many times.[3] The collection is considered also to have played an important role by the historiography in North Macedonia.
