Balkan language area

The Balkan language area is a region in Europe where several different languages are spoken. The area includes countries like Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, and Greece. These countries each have their own language, but many of them also share a similar language called Balkan Slavic, which is spoken by some people in all of these countries. The languages are all related, so people living in different parts of the Balkan language area can still understand each other.
