Learning Bulgarian
The official language of Bulgaria is Bulgarian. Learning Bulgarian is very difficult for other nationalities especially for west Europeans, because of its Cyrillic alphabet. The script of the Bulgarian Language has been created in the 9th century by Saint Climent and Saint Methodius, Bulgarian missionaries commissioned by the Byzantine emperor to translate the New Testament into Old Bulgarian (Old Church Slavonic). The Cyrillic alphabet is based in large part on the Greek alphabet; however, a few letters were created to represent Slavic sounds that didn't have Greek equivalents.
