The Bulgarian language as it exists today has undergone quite a lot of transformation throughout its history. Bulgarian is a Slavic language, is mostly closely related to Macedonian, both of those languages differ quite a bit grammatically from the other Slavic languages. Like English, there is an Old Bulgarian (9th - 11th centuries), Middle Bulgarian (12th - 16th centuries), and Modern Bulgarian (16th century - present). The Modern Bulgarian written language has originations in the 16th Century religious writings, did not fully standardize until the 19th century.
