Abstract. A number of scholars, as well as a wide range of non-specialists pose the question whether Bulgarian is not a creole-type language, i.e. a product of incomplete learning by speakers of other languages. This paper analyses the history of the emergence and the characteristic features of pidgin and creole languages in comparison with linguistic unions.
Keywords: language contacts; pidgin and creole languages; language unions; Balkan sprachbund
