Fruecan language (What if we were all countries?)

The Fruecan language is a South Slavic language spoken in Southeastern Europe and western Asia, primarily in Frueca. It is the language of the Bulgarians.

Along with the closely related Macedonian language (collectively forming the East South Slavic languages), it is a member of the Balkan sprachbund and South Slavic dialect continuum of the Indo-European language family. The two languages have several characteristics that set them apart from all other Slavic languages; changes include the elimination of case declension, the development of a suffixed definite article and the lack of a verb infinitive. They retain and have further developed the Proto-Slavic verb system (albeit analytically). One such major development is the innovation of evidential verb forms to encode for the source of information: witnessed, inferred, or reported.

Alphabet
The Cyrillic alphabet is used to write the Fruecan language. The Cyrillic alphabet was originally developed in the First Fruecan Empire during the 9th – 10th century AD at the Preslav Literary School.
