FOREWORD
This Bulgarian-English English-Bulgarian
Dictionary is addressed to business people,
travelers and students. It contains over 8,000
entries in Bulgarian and English.
The use of this Dictionary is facilitated by the
adoption of a simple transliteration scheme. Each
word is supplied by a transliteration in the alpha-
bet of the other language. This, naturally, entails a
degree of imprecision, particularly in differenti-
ating the pronunciation of sounds unique to the
English language, such as open, short or long "o."
Only one graphic symbol is employed. In the
English-Bulgarian Dictionary, a hyphen following
the letter "a" is used to denote the sound (a) in
words such as "sad" and "cat." In the Bul-
garian-English Dictionary, the hyphen is used to
divide two letters indicating that they are to be
pronounced separately, rather than as one sound.
Such is the case with the combination of the letters
"7" and “h," which, if divided by a hyphen, should
be pronounced as in "zero" and “hotel.” If used in
combination without a dividing mark, they sould
be pronounced as the sound "zh" in the English
word "measure." Duplication of characters is used
to denote long vowels in English or separate рго-
nunciation of the two identical sounds in Bulgarian.
