=====Euthymian recension=====
In the early 1370s, [[Patriarch of Bulgaria|Bulgarian Patriarch]] [[Euthymius of Tarnovo]] implemented a reform to standardize Bulgarian orthography.{{sfn|Kamusella|2008|pp=276}} Instead of bringining the language closer to that of commoners, the "Euthymian", or Tarnovo, recension, rather sought to re-establish older Old Church Slavonic models, further archaizing it.{{sfn|Sussex|Cubberley|2002|p=85}} The fall of Bulgaria under Ottoman rule in 1396 precipitated an exodus of Bulgarian men-of-letters, e.g., [[Cyprian, Metropolitan of Kiev|Cyprian]], [[Gregory Tsamblak]], [[Constantine of Kostenets]], etc. to [[Wallachia]], [[Moldova]] and the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania|Grand Duchies of Lithuania]] and [[Grand Duchy of Moscow|Moscow]], where they enforced the Euthymian recension as liturgical and chancery language, and to the [[Serbian Despotate]], where it influenced the [[Resava School]].{{sfn|Kamusella|2008|pp=158–159, 204, 276, 277: Bulgarian Church Slavonic was adopted as the official language of the Danubian Principalities and gradually developed into a specific Dacian recension that remained in use until the beginning of the 18th century}}{{sfn|Sussex|Cubberley|2002|p=82, 85}}
