Abstract. The article deals with the origin of the Bulgarian vocabulary according to the multi-volume Bulgarian etymological dictionary, one of the main nationally significant projects of the Institute for Bulgarian Language at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. In summary, it presents the different chronological and genetic layers of vocabulary that build the Bulgarian language. The two main layers of vocabulary – the original Slavonic and the later Balkan layers, which characterize the language both Slavic and Balkan, are highlighted. The classical (literary) Old Bulgarian source, as well as other older and newer foreign sources, is pointed out, revealing the different ways of penetrating the lexical units in the literary and colloquial language and in the Bulgarian dialects.
