Bulgarian is the official language of Bulgaria and one of the official languages of the European Union, with about 9 million speakers in Bulgaria and abroad. It is a South Slavic language, very close to Macedonian, and the Cyrillic alphabet took shape in the medieval Bulgarian state.
Bulgarian is written in Cyrillic. Use vie as the polite "you" and ti with friends. A polite hello is zdraveyte, and to a friend zdravey.
