Editing Soft sign (section)

=== In Bulgarian ===
Among Slavic languages using the Cyrillic script, the soft sign has the most limited use in [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]]: while phonemic palatalization does occur, it is very limited, even more than in other hard languages like Serbian (compare Bulgarian ''кон'' to Russian ''конь'' or Serbian ''коњ''). The only possible position is one between consonants and {{angbr|о}} (such as in names {{lang|bg|Жельо, Кръстьо}}, and {{lang|bg|Гьончо}}, or the word синьо). Rather, the letter is mostly used in foreign words of French or German origin, such as шофьор (driver, chauffeur). <!-- However, in some foreign names, using the soft sign helps best approximate the correct original pronunciation when written in Bulgarian and may be used in a manner different from the above-described (for example, in names of people, newspapers, sports clubs, companies, etc. - Желько Милькович, Комунальник, Белогорье, Вильбон 91) — these spellings do not seem to be standard --> There are almost no native Bulgarian words with the soft sign.
