Mo Bulgarian kupu ki te kōrero

Bulgarian is written in Cyrillic and is grammatically distinctive among Slavic languages: it has almost entirely lost the case system but uniquely developed a postposed definite article attached to the end of nouns, which a text-to-speech engine must read as part of the word. Crucially, Bulgarian has no infinitive, expressing such constructions with the particle да plus a finite verb, and it features an evidential system of verb forms that mark reported speech. For synthesis the hardest piece is stress: Bulgarian stress is unpredictable and moveable, can fall on any syllable, and shifts meaning, while unstressed vowels undergo reduction, so accurate lexical stress placement is essential to sounding native. Typical users include Bulgarian media and e-government services, accessibility tools for visually impaired readers, audiobook and education providers, and developers localising apps for the Bulgarian market.
