Macedonian/Bulgarian/Torlakian is not a good example because it still has morphology, verbal morphology, and there is optional pronoun doubling to further disambiguate. It is therefore almost the same as Italian or Spanish and given what language was spoken there before Slavic that is not too surprising. | |
