Summary/Abstract: The object of study in this paper is the linguogeographic data in the Macedonian Dialect Atlas. The aim of the paper is to examine some of the names of bread, mapped in the Macedonian Dialect Atlas, which will be examined in a comparative plan with the corresponding Bulgarian dialect vocabulary from the entire Bulgarian linguistic territory. From the linguistic analysis, some important generalizations can be made, such as: Bulgarian dialects show an extraordinary variety of lexemes naming bread and types of bread. All 5 names mapped on map No. 24 ʻпечен хляб‘ (baked bread) in the "Macedonian Dialect Atlas" „леп, погача, сомун, пешник, чурек” are widespread in the Bulgarian linguistic territory. Dialect Atlas (od riznicata na kartotekata – leksički materijali) is another linguistic work that shows the unity of the Bulgarian linguistic territory and the Bulgarian dialects within and outside the state borders of Bulgaria and in lexical terms. The results show that the Bulgarian language is distinguished by a huge variety of words with the meaning ‘baked bread’: самун, пещенàк, пещенѝк, пещнѝк, пѝта, питàр, пѝтенка, погàча, сам ница, самун к, фỳрнек, пèтурка, питàрче, питàче, питè, пѝтенце, пѝтица, пѝтичка, пѝтче, погачè, погàчица, погàчка, погачлè, сам нка, тънѝца, тънкàч, тънкàчка, тън шка, фудỳла, фудỳле, фудỳлка, фỳрна, хлебè, подвр шник, п дметник, пòдница, подчѝрчек, проб хник, чѝреп, чорèк and many others.
