Abstract

Phonological systems of the Balkan languages do not correspond to the Balkan language union borders, which can be explained by the difference between „intensive“ (morphosyntactic) and „extensiv“ (phonological) language unions. In this case, we are dealing with the entrance of the Balkan languages into a wide transitional zone, stretching along the borders of East and Central Europe, and with the coinciding of their phonological systems with the system of Slavic languages known as vowel and consonant types. The same classification into two phonological systems exists in the Balkans too, and between them there are also two transitional borderlines.
