Bulgarian (Бългapcки) belongs to the North Slavic group of the Indo-European language family. It is spoken in Bulgaria by some 5.7 million people.

The history of the Bulgarian language spans several periods:

Prehistoric Bulgarian

The prehistoric period happened between the Slavic invasion of the Eastern Balkans and the mission of St. Cyril and St. Methodius in the Great Moravia Empire in the 860s.

Old Bulgarian

Old Bulgarian (9th-11th century, also called Old Church Slavonic) was the language used by St. Cyril and St. Methodius and their disciples to translate the Bible and other liturgical works from Greek. Old Bulgarian was the first Slavic language to be recorded in writing.

Middle Bulgarian

Middle Bulgarian (12th-15th centuries) was a period of dramatic changes when the Bulgarian languge lost the case system of the Old Church Slavonic and developed a particular article in the form of a suffix.

Modern Bulgarian

Modern Bulgarian dates from the 16th century onwards.

Bulgarian dialects

The contemporary standard Bulgarian is the official variant of the language. The Palityan dialect is understood if you are fluent in standard Bulgarian. The Pomak dialect, spoken in Greece, is a transitional dialect between Bulgarian and Serbian.
