Bulgarian...
"Bulgarian is spoken by about 7 million people in
and around
Bulgaria. This Balkan country
has minority groups of Gagauzi
Turks (about 600,000), Macedonians, and gypsies. Known to the
ancients as Thrace and Moesia, the country was dominated by
Slavic tribes from the middle of the first millennium A.D.
Bulgarian is the Slavic linguistic descendant of their tongue. It
was adopted by the Altaic-speaking Western Bulgars, who
migrated across the Danube in 879-880, conquered the region
and settled there. Bulgaria was an early battle ground of the
struggle between Rome and Constantinople.
This struggle was
resolved in the 9th century, when Boris I espoused the
Eastern
Church. Thus Bulgaria came under the influence of Byzantine
culture and the Slavonic literary tradition developed by Saint
Cyril and Saint Methodius."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info

priests C&M were Eas. Orth. (860s) and later also Rom. Cat. (867) linked.]
"The Bulgarian language still stands closest of
all the Slavic
tongues to Slavonic, and the
beginnings of Bulgarian literature
are part of the literary history of Ecclesiastical Slavonic. In
fact,
Bulgarian vernacular literature is said to begin with the work of
Father Paisi in the mid-18th century, at which time there was not
even a printing press in the whole of Bulgaria. The movement
developed momentum only in the 19th century. It is, therefore,
not surprising that the first Bulgarian New Testament was pub-
lished as late as 1840."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
