Abstract
In this contribution it is argued, that the Bulgarian language has changed from a synthetical to an analytical language probably within the period between 6-9. cent. AD, and not between 12.-14. cent. AD - as it is maintained by Bulgarian linguists. To support this thesis, the archaic language contacts in the Balkans and the analytical balkanisms of the Old Church Slavonic language (9. c. AD) are discussed. Under the First Bulgarian Empire (7.-10. Jh.) a clash between the dominating turcic language of the protobulgarian conquerors, and the southslavic language of the slavobulgarian tribes took place. In this symbiosis over centuries, the morphology of the noun and other grammatical categories were strongly reduced, and the nucleus of the analytical structure of the Bulgarian language was formed.
