Language info:
Bulgarian is the primary language of Bulgaria, and it is used in other countries
as well, such as in Turkey, Greece, Serbia and Montenegro, Moldova, Romania
and Ukraine, overseas particularly in North America and Australia. It is the
closest relative of Macedonian Slavonic and of Pomak (a minority language of
Northern Greece).
While preserves
many archaic Slavonic features (such as a suffixed definite article), Bulgarian
has
some
innovative
features
as
well,
most
of them due to non-Slavonic influences, such as influences from Gothic, Romanian,
Greek
and Turkic languages.
The closest relative
of Bulgarian is Macedonian, which certain parties in Greece do not recognize
for political reasons.
