Summary/Abstract: The verb system of southern Bulgarian dialects presents the well known Balkan feature, the “have” perfect construction. Other Balkan languages that share the feature are the Romanian and Aromanian dialects, Albanian, Judeo-Spanish, Greek (standard and dialects). The “have” perfect is being grammaticalized in some Bulgarian dialects too. The emergence of this feature in Bulgarian is due to the contact of languages and internal development.
