Bulgarian is an Indo-European language, a member of the Slavic
branch. Bulgarian was the first Slavic language to be written: it started to
appear in writing during the 9th century in the Glagolitic alphabet, which
was gradually replaced by an early version of the Cyrillic alphabet over the
following centuries. Bulgarian demonstrates several linguistic innovations
that set it apart from other Slavic languages, such as the elimination of
case declension, the development of a suffixed definite article ( Balkan
linguistic union), the lack of a verb infinitive, and the retention and
further development of the proto-Slavic verb system. Various verb forms
exist to express unwitnessed, retold, and doubtful action. As of 2007 there
are more than 10 million people around the world who speak Bulgarian
fluently. Also, it has been claimed, that Russian and Bulgarian have a
moderate degree of mutual intelligibility.
