O jeziku/jezicima Banatskih Bugara – Palćana u Vojvodini

The main goal of the paper is to present the community of Banat Bulgarians – Paulicians in Vojvodina from the perspective of the languages used. Members of this community are descendants of Catholic Bulgarians, and their language is a variety of the Bulgarian language that developed in the Banat region of Serbia and Romania. In everyday communication, Paulicians, in addition to Paulician language, also use several languages of other ethnic communities, mostly Serbian, Hungarian, and Slovak. The paper also presents the results of research into the Paulician language conducted within the framework of the project “Vulnerable Languages and Language Varieties in Serbia” in the period 2022–2024.
