Excerpt from A Short Grammar of the Bulgarian Language: With Reading Lessons
The growing importance of the Bulgarian Principality seems to indicate the need of a Bulgarian Grammar, whether for travellers or those engaged in commerce. I have, therefore, compiled this short work. The manuscript has lain by me for some years, and I have done what I could to make the book as complete as possible. I have now worked at the Bulgarian language at intervals for the past twenty-five years, and have gained some insight into its principles. I have also received valuable assistance from Bulgarian friends at various times, both in the Principality itself and in England.
The student's attention is called to the following points: -
(1)The principles of this Grammar are based upon those of the great Comparative Grammar of Miklosich (Vergleichende Grammatik, Zweite Ausgabe, Wien, 1879), a work of supreme value.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the Bulgarian language, written for travellers and those engaged in commerce. The author, who has studied Bulgarian for over twenty-five years, presents a detailed analysis of its grammatical structure, taking into account its historical development within the broader context of the Slavic languages. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding Bulgarian in relation to its roots, particularly its Old Slavonic origins, which can illuminate the often-unusual case-endings and verb forms found in both formal and folk literature. The book explores the intricate workings of the Bulgarian verb system, including the intricate system of aspects, which reflects different ways of expressing actions, such as completion, repetition, and duration. It delves into the nuances of prepositional prefixes, crucial for understanding verb meanings and their various aspects. The book also touches upon the challenges of standardization in a language experiencing significant change due to political and cultural influences. The author's insights into the language's evolution, and its ongoing adaptations to changing contexts, make this work a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of Bulgarian language and culture.
