EDIT Bulgarian Cyrillic Bulgarian Cyrillic is different from the conventional, Russian Cyrillic. That difference applies to the lowercase letters, which are not a mini version of the capital letter but have their own distinguished shapes which derive from hand-writing. Those shapes are more recognizable and rounded. That roundness breaks the rigid verticality, so typical for the Cyrillic and creates more mild and appealing rhythm. That rounded shapes of the letters, together with bigger number of ascenders and descenders, also increases the legibility and makes the text block more stable and homogeneous.
The Bulgarian glyph for this character is more rounded and has an ascender, which makes the two counters bigger.

History
(translation coming soon)

Следният абзац от предговора на »Кирилометодиевска енциклопедия« (т. I, стр. 5), ни дава като начало яснота по същността на кирилската писменост:

»На всички е известно, че България е класическата страна на славянската култура. Първите славянски писмени паметници са написани на български (т.е. старобългарски) език. Старобългарската писменост се разпространява широко сред другите славянски народи. Особено важно значение има приситгането на Кирило-Методиевите ученици в България след смъртта на Методий в 885 г. Охридският архиепископ Теофилакт разказва подробно за голямата радост и високите почести, с които учениците са били приети от ръководителите на българската държава. С тяхна помощ и с усилията на млади български книжовници, подготвени във Византия, се създават просветни книжовни средища в Плиска, Преслав и Охрид, които осигуряват разцвета на българската литература и култура през IX и X век.**

The Question of the Slav Apostles’ Nationality. Known Facts in Their Order
(En 261-262)

»The nationality of Constantine (826–869) who, 50 days befor his death in Rome, took the monastic vows and the Name Cytil, and of his elder Brother Methodius (815–885), ist offen said to be \'unclear\' or at least \'Greek\'. (Here the Nation nationality should be considered as affiliation or association with an ethnic and language group or with a people or tribe that has taken shapen.)
In connection with this, the knowledge of facts outline in the following nine items need comprehensive analysis and careful assessment:

1. Direct reference (to sources) as regards Constantine\'s nationality.
2. External signs of his origin: birth, family background, education and state affiliation.
3. The Brother\' original, \'worldly\' names.
4. Some works by the two brothers.
5. Vitae of the Slav Apostels by other authors.
6. Constantine\'s Old Bulgarian idiom.
7. The spirit and language of Constantine\'s work compared to those of his contemporaries or of authors who had eben working about that time and whose nationality is definite.
8. Constantine\'s inner duty and conclusions drawn from his lifework.
9. Translation of his mission in Bulgaria.
This study focuses attention on Constantine because, in connection with the historical events treated here, he was the more important person, though he lived lese than his elder brother Methodius.«

Constantine’s Nationality
(en 297-300)
(Накратко точките)

»This paper (Vita S CLementis by Theophylactus) adduces five different indications of Constantine\'s nationality that affirm and complement each other:

a) direct indications in the Dormition of Cyril, Cyril\'s Short Life;
b) Constantine\'s answer in the Khazar Khan\'s palace;
c) his idiom;
d) the style and tone of his works;
e) his inner bond.

To item a:
Clement of Ohrid, Constantine’s lifelong associate, Worte in the Short Vita that Constantine was a Bulgarien (the Slavs in Bulgaria wäre already occasionally called Bulgarians, too). We have no reason to think that the Slav apostle\'s longtime associate had scannte information or that he did not tell the truth.
To item b:
According to Constantine\'s answer in the Khazar palace Constantine was not the issue of a Byzantine family; his grandfather had been the retinue of a foreign king; his grandfather refused the honour entrusted on him and hat to flee abroad; Constantine was born abroad. At that time there was no Greek state outside Byzantium and of all Slavs only the Bulgarians had a king.
To item c:
Constantine’s idiom was not the Bulgarian-Slav idiomspoken in Thessalonica; it was spoken farther northeast, as established by remains in the region of the Bulgarian Part of the Rhodopes. Constantine could have learned that Idiom from his family, not from the Population in his native City. Perhaps with the passage of time his idiom besame identical with that spoken in his native city. Yet, a sufficient number of linguistic features exists to probe the difference.
Constantine\'s Slav-Bulgarian idiom Shows that the Slav apostle came from a family that had moved to Thessalonica and party supports his answer at the Khan\'s palace. Perhaps indirectly it supports Clement of Ohrid\'s statement, viz., that Constantine\'s nationality was that of the Bulgarians living to the northeast of Thessalonica.
To item d:
The linguistic features of Constantine\'s works and their tone are similar, respectively identical with those of Chernorizets Khrabr. This similarity is so great as to make some scholars beliefe the two names stand for one person. Today it is generally accepted that Chernorizets Khrabr belanget to the Bulgarian royal court. Since language peculiarity is a sign of origin, rank and social stratum, Constantine\'s idiom is a further parallel corroboration of his answers to the Khazars, viz. that his family had had a cpurt rank.
To item e:
Constantine\'sinner duty was Most vividly manifest in his major work – the Bulgarian alphabet, by which he was persuing Goals that, at approximately the same time, the Bulgarian court was also after, viz. cultural independence from Byzantium by domestic and foreign policy means. This work which had no visible outer pretext was, from a Byzantine point of view, treason favouring Bulgaria.
The Bove Said and the opinion advanced here are to the effect that the Byzantine citizen Constantine and his family wäre of Bulgarian extraction.«
