Bulgarian Language
THE BULGARIAN LANGUAGE
American missionaries working in Bulgaria in the 1850s created the first standardized Bulgarian script, choosing to base the national language on the dialect of Thrace and eastern Macedonia rather than on that spoken in the regions of northern Bulgaria. Until the work of such American missionaries, memories of an ecclesiastical past in Bulgaria had been preserved in large part only by Slavonic monks. The American Board of Missionaries, with their network of locally posted missionaries, intentionally or not, assisted nascent Bulgarian national elites to forge a different picture of the past.
Dr. Elias Riggs, for example, crossed "European Turkey" in the late 1840s and in 1847 compiled a Bulgarian grammar primer. According to Tsanoff (1919:ix), it had been the American missionaries who had discovered (or, we might say, helped to invent) the Bulgarian nation. They published some of the first books in Bulgarian, and in 1864 began putting out the first monthly magazine in the region written in Bulgarian. Morning Star (Zornitsa), as it was called, later became a weekly, was distributed widely throughout the countryside and was read aloud in coffee shops in towns and villages. In fact, zornitsa eventually became a generic term for newspaper in Bulgaria.(1) Apart from the work of Bulgarian clergy, intellectuals, and political elites for the national awakening of the Bulgarian peoples, it had been the provisioning of the written word that provided the impetus for unification under the banner of Bulgarian national ideology. As Prince Ferdinand of Montenegro once remarked, "had there been no American missionaries, there would have been no Bulgaria" (cited in H.askell 1919:3). Not only did they translate the Bible into Bulgarian, but their linguistic work also enabled them to preach to local inhabitants in their own language.

>>> in 1864 began putting out the first monthly magazine in the region written in Bulgarian. Morning Star (Zornitsa)<<<
Може би едно от май-популярните издания ония времена е бил "Цариградски вестник", основан 1848г. "Любословие" е първото списание, създадено 1844г. Мога още много да изреждам, ама няма смисъл....

Сариса,
не искам да бъда груб, но можеш да се самозавреш в задника си....като сме почнали с Каракасиду, прочети за случая с Пасхалина "Вулгаруда" и тогава продължавай с глупавите си македонистки и извадени от контекст постинги....като човек, който ходи чат-пат по научни конференции трябва да ти кажа, че направо размазваме навсякъде фиромските псевдоучени.....трябва да видиш как мълчат като посрани......ще ти хареса....

Re: зорница
Това са наистина големи фантазии.......не че не е имало вестник "Зорница", но протестантите, както и католиците, са били гледани с лошо око от мнозинството от населението.....при това самите протестанти са били много малобройни, а в училищата са се учили понякога и деца от православни семейства, но извънредно рядко.....
