AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE TO THE BULGARIAN LANGUAGE
For those who are interested in facts and information, the following is a short description of the Bulgarian
Language.
Bulgarian is a Slavonic language, like Russian, Czech, Polish, and Serbian. Its history is centuries old and it is
the earliest written language. It is a phonetic language, i.e. you pronounce what is written. Of course, first you
get familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet! Overall, it is easy to be mastered by English speakers: its structure is
similar to English; besides so many Volunteers have learned it and speak it fluently. Naturally there are some
distinctive features like the gender of nouns and the verb system.
The Old Bulgarian period dates back to the creation of the alphabet, the Glagolitsa, (circa 862 - 863 AD) by the
Thessaloniki monks, Cyril and Methodius. The invention of the Glagolitic alphabet, comprised of 41 letters,
constituted an original creative act. It was a new graphic system and ingenious creation, exactly adapted to the
phonetic peculiarities of the Old Bulgarian language. Between the ninth and eleventh centuries yet another
script was created in Bulgaria - the Cyrillic alphabet, or Kirilitsa. It includes the 24 letters of the Greek titular
code lettering to which several new signs have been added for the sounds peculiar to the Old Bulgarian tongue.
The Cyrillic script is used by (among others) Bulgarians, Russians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,
Macedonians and Mongolians, who adopted it from the Russians.
The Modern Bulgarian period is the third phase in the historical evolution of the traditional language of the Old
Bulgarian and Middle Bulgarian periods. It has all the characteristic features of the Bulgarian of today. Thus, in
a variety of ways, the language of Cyril and Methodius lived through the centuries, and conveyed the literary
and language traditions, from the time of Cyril and Methodius to that of the modern Bulgarian literary language.
Bulgarian is an easy language to learn for speakers of English, as its structure is similar to English. However,
there are some differences: the alphabet and sound system, the verb system, the place of the definite article,
and the gender of nouns.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE EXPECTED to know the Bulgarian alphabet when you arrive. As soon
as you master the sounds and the letters you will be able to read Bulgarian. What follows are several phonetic
assignments for you, for this purpose.
