Bulgarian language

	Bulgarian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bulgarian demonstrates several linguistic innovations that set it apart from other Slavic languages, such as the elimination of noun declension, the development of a suffixed definite article (see Balkan linguistic union), the lack of a verb infinitive, and the retention and further development of the proto-Slavic verb system.
		The first mention of the language as the "Bulgarian language" instead of the "Slavonic language" comes in the work of the Greek clergy of the Bulgarian Archbishopric of Ohrid in the 11th century, for example in the Greek hagiography of Saint Clement of Ohrid by Theophylact of Ohrid (late 11th century).
		Bulgarian verbs express lexical aspect: perfective verbs signify the completion of the action of the verb and form past aorist tenses; imperfective ones are neutral with regard to it and form past imperfect tenses.

		Bulgarian is the official language of the Republic of Bulgaria and is spoken as their native language by about 8.5 million people within the boundaries of Bulgaria.
		Middle Bulgarian was a transitional stage during which the language underwent crucial changes leading to its emergence as a 'Balkan' language with analytic characteristics; owing to the strong tradition of the liturgical literature, however the actual changes found in the vernaculars were hardly reflected in the manuscripts.
		The history of the Bulgarian language has to be treated differently from the history of the literary language with its codified character.

		In some cases, the name языкъ блъгарьскъ was used not only with regard to the contemporary Middle Bulgarian language of the copyist but also to the period of Old Bulgarian and even to the mission of St. Cyril and St. Methodius in Great Moravia.
		The variation of the norm seems to be socially conditioned: on the one hand, the relative absence of reduction is intuitively associated with certain types of low-status (provincial, especially West Bulgarian, or Romani-influenced) speech; on the other hand the awareness of the distinctions is naturally perceived as a sign of literacy and education.
		The merger is, at least in nondialectal pronunciation, totally accomplished for /a/ and /ɤ/ in all positions (except, occasionally and for some speakers, in a syllable immediately preceding another /a/).

	BULGARIAN AND MACEDONIAN
		The name 'Bulgarian' goes back to the Proto-Bulgarian tribes or Bulgars who in the seventh century AD settled in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, to which a number of Slavic tribes had moved in the previous century.
		The Bulgars were Turkic (as distinct from Turkish) tribes who coalesced with these Slavs to form the future Bulgarian people (the first Bulgarian state was formed in 681 AD).
		This was achieved by the so-called 'Slav apostles,' the brothers Cyril and Methodius, who produced the first translation of the Christian Scriptures from Byzantine Greek into Slavonic.
