Bulgarian Cyrillic

Bulgarian Cyrillic is a script used primarily for writing the Bulgarian language. It developed in the 9th century from the Glagolitic alphabet and was standardized in the 19th century. Consisting of 30 letters, it has characters both unique to Bulgarian and shared with other Cyrillic alphabets used in languages like Russian and Serbian. The script is phonetic, meaning each letter generally corresponds to a specific sound, which helps with pronunciation. Bulgarian Cyrillic plays a vital role in the country's cultural identity, literature, and communication, and it has influenced the development of related writing systems in other Eastern European languages.
