As shown in above, Typological sameness between OCS and Bulgarian is much bigger than that between OCS and Russian. But, in the process of diachronical changes of these language, Bulgarian goes to analytic language because of the Balkan language influences, not like OCS and Russian. About this phenomenon will be studied in the next article by the author. Brief Tableau "Typological characteristics on OCS, Russian and Bulgarian" is attached in the end of this article.
