The paper calls for changing the research paradigm, in which the language of the earliest Bulgarian manuscripts has been explored so far. The author brings up a series of arguments (historical, linguistic and metalinguistic) proving that the development of Bulgarian, Russian and Serbian medieval orthography as well as the creation of the modern languages of Bulgarians, Russians ad Serbs could be explained through the interaction between the vernacular and literary languages. Such an approach has already been proposed and developed by Vladimir Zhivov and applied to the history of Russian. The lack of grammatical descriptions of the Cyril and Methodius’ language in the Middle Ages also speaks in favor of the organic relation between the oral and written practices.
