We knew Borat's daughter was played by a Bulgarian actor. Just finished watching the movie. All of her lines speaking to Borat in Kazakh is actually all spoken in Bulgarian. Super interesting to watch, and note the differences between what she's saying in Bulgarian and the English Subtitles.

Interesting fact: Lions Gate Bridge piers on the North Vancouver side are NOT bolted to the foundation. Nuts on original studs were removed and act as pins. The part with the 3 nuts acts as a brace and is not attached to the piers. This allows piers to move during an earthquake instead of breaking.
