Bulgaria is set to implement new regulations mandating the use of the Cyrillic alphabet in public spaces, following parliamentary approval of a legislative proposal. This initiative, backed by the 'Revival' party, aims to protect the Bulgarian language from the increasing prevalence of English. The proposal includes establishing a Bulgarian Language Advisory Council under the Council of Ministers to oversee language use and educational materials. The law requires all public signage and communications to be in Bulgarian, with the option to include Latin script only as a secondary representation. Critics have raised concerns about the proposal's clarity and effectiveness, prompting calls for further evaluation before the second reading.
