Bulgarian - български    bŭlgarski


The Southern Slavonic languages are, from north to south, Slovene, Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian. The distance from Ljubljana in Slovenia to Plovdiv in central Bulgaria is about 620 miles. On travelling south east from Ljubljana the dialects change slightly from village to village and town to town with the differences accumulating on the way. In the capital cities (or central Bulgaria) the local dialect corresponds closely to the official language. The Slovene of Ljubljana has a complicated grammar, but no word for "the". Bulgarian has a much simplified grammar and words for "the". Slovene uses the Roman alphabet and Bulgarian uses Cyrillic.

Защото Бог толкова възлюби света, че даде Своя Единороден Син, за да не погине ни един, който вярва в Него, но да има вечен живот.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3,16
