Gajal

The Gajal or Gadzhal (Turkish and Gagauz: Gacal, Bulgarian: Гаджал, Gadžal) are a Turkic subgroup, closely related to the Gagauz. Their name derives from a common root (Gajal are also sometimes named as Gagauz). The Gajal, however, are Sunni Muslims, unlike the Gagauz, who are Orthodox Christians.[1]
