Teacher's information
For a more detailed introduction to the current state of the Bulgarian language and its development during the second half of the 20th century, I recommend the monograph Bălgarski ezik, which is written in Bulgarian and comes from the Polish edition Najnowsze dzieje języków słowiańskich (Opole, 1997).
