About Bulgarian

Bulgarian is a South Slavic language and mutually understandable with Macedonian. Other related languages include Serbian, Slovenian and Croatian. It has quite different grammar to most Slavic languages - for example, there are almost no cases, compared to Russian’s six. It also has a definite article, 'the', which gets attached to the end of the noun, so банка is 'bank' but банката is 'the bank'.
