Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian language situation has been changing a lot for the recent years, because the process of massive emigration of the working population continues and the number of newly born children abroad increases. Thus the Bulgarian language gradually melts in the world globalization. This tendency leads to the destruction of our nation, its unique origin and dignity. In this paper we comment on the Bulgarian language of the emigrants, as a subject to the influence of assimilation. The algorithm of the deformation which the surrounding foreign language causes to the Bulgarian language in the emigration communities is investigated by means of a contrastive analysis between Europe and outside Europe based on the mixed language of the Bulgarian communities in two significant cities - Vienna and Sydney. The algorithm of genealogical alienation among the Bulgarian emigrants starts with the initial state on the day of leaving the native country, it passes through a finite number of well-defined subsequent states on the route from the centre of Europe to south of the Equator and finishes with the final state of self-acceptance, a fully completed process of alienation from the Bulgarian. What the present paper recommends to Bulgarian linguitics is the selection of an appropriate (opposing) algorithmic model which would describe fully and correctly the studied process of forgetting the native Bulgarian.
