Eastern European languages

[AleG]

The objective of this discussion is to learn more about Bulgaria’s language and its surroundings. I have learn that Bulgarian is a language on its own and it is written in Cyrillic alphabet. I have read somewhere that Dimitar did not like it when they called him “Dimitri” as he is not Russian but Bulgarian. In regards to that, I have some questions:

1. Is the Cyrillic alphabet identical to the Russian alphabet?
2. Do Bulgarian and Russian languages have similarities?
3. Does Serbia have a language of its own? Do people in Bulgaria understand most of what Serbian people say?

Bulgarian boys and girls… or anyone who knows the answers, please explain. Thank you.

Answers:
1. Yes, both languages are simillar but yet different...
2. They very much have, but it's still not as easy for bulgarians and russians to communicate as most people think...
3. Yes- it's serbian. Serbian and Bulgarian are something like British English and Scotish English. That's why Vidic and Berba are able to trick Chelsea's deffence in SerboBulgarian. ;)

Thank you, Angel. I always wondered if Vidic and Dimitar communicate on their native language. It is so nice to see them talking when celebrating a goal or the scene you pointed, with the goal vs Chelsea. I think both of them have a better friendship.
