Summary/Abstract: Bulgarian customary law played a major role in protecting the personality and dignity of Bulgarians during the years of Ottoman rule. This is the time when Bulgarians live in the conditions of foreign legislation, which explains the wide application of customary law in their daily lives. Foreign authority has an impact not only on the economic and cultural development of the Bulgarians, but also on the customary law of our people. There is an abundance of Ottoman terms in our legal language. Of course, we cannot accept that the concepts themselves have been adopted through their use. Many of them have been known to Bulgarians since the years of the Medieval Bulgarian state. In the conditions of foreign rule, they are gradually forgotten and give way to Turkish ones. Of course, there is no denying that there are legal concepts brought by the Ottomans. Thus, during the years of Ottoman rule, they were performed and transposed into a number of Turkish terms.
