Bulgarian
Bulgarian is the country's only official language. It's spoken by the vast majority of the Bulgarian population and used at all levels of society. It is an Indo-European language, a member of the Slavic linguistic group. Its closest relative is the (Slavic) Macedonian language and these two languages are mutually intelligible.
Bulgarian is written with Cyrillic, which also has been "exported" to other languages, notably Russian.

Famous quotes containing the word bulgarian:
“In the end we beat them with Levi 501 jeans. Seventy-two years of Communist indoctrination and propaganda was drowned out by a three-ounce Sony Walkman. A huge totalitarian system ... has been brought to its knees because nobody wants to wear Bulgarian shoes.... Now they’re lunch, and we’re number one on the planet.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Americans are rather like bad Bulgarian wine: they don’t travel well.”
