Standard Macedonian together with standard Bulgarian belongs to eastern group of southern-Slavonic language group. Both languages represent closely related languages and from the morphologic typology point of view rank to analytical type of languages in which disappeared declination. The relations among words are expressed with the help of articles, prepositions and conjunctions. From point of view of phonological typology they belong to different language types. While Bulgarian belongs to extreme consonant type with simple vocalism (6 vowels) and developed consonantism (39 consonants), Macedonian has the simplest phonological system of all Slavonic languages, which consists of 31 phonemes (5 vowels and 26 consonants). It is conditioned with fact that for Bulgarian phonological system is characteristic consonant soft correlation that is differentiating hard-soft opposites in most articulate lines of consonants. In standard Macedonian only remnants of articulate lines of consonant soft correlation /л–љ, н–њ, к–ќ, г–ѓ/ were preserved, that is why Macedonian consonant subsystem contains up to 13 consonants less than the Bulgarian one. They improve faith and they both wholeheartedly fulfilled their desire to be servants of words/the Word.
