A phonological analysis aligned with this view, positing 28 phonemes and viewing the palatalized consonants as allophones, has maintained some currency outside of Bulgaria and has also been (re-)adopted by some Bulgarian linguists since as early as the 1970s and 1980s [9] and even more so after the end of the Communist period.
English: Notable as the first Bulgarian grammar, this book is also culturally significant because of the role that its author, Neofit Rilski (1793–1881), played in the promotion of secular education in Bulgaria and in the establishment of a modern Bulgarian literary language. Neofit, a priest associated with the Rila Monastery, was a leading ...
The history of the Bulgarian language can be divided into three major periods: Old Bulgarian (from the late 9th until the 11th century); Middle Bulgarian (from the 12th century to the 15th century); Modern Bulgarian (since the 16th century).

The Bulgarian National corpus consists of a monolingual (Bulgarian) part and 47 parallel corpora. The Bulgarian part includes about 1.2 billion words in over 240 000 text samples. The materials in the Corpus reflect the state of the Bulgarian language (mainly in its written form) from the middle of 20th century (1945) until present. [4]
His writings are fundamental to historical comparativism, because Old Bulgarian is the fourth classical and medieval literary language (see trilingual heresy). Stefan Mladenov made a special contribution to clarifying the historical influence of the Bulgarian language and to the emergence of languages from the Balkan Linguistic Union.
Suitability for Bulgarian is disputed, as the system was created for the unrelated German language, and Bezenšek had become fluent in Bulgarian just shortly before he invented it. To a certain extent, this resulted in some waste of elegant natural strokes for infrequent sounds, and a redundancy of complex slow strokes for common sounds.
