According to everything that I've read, OCS is generally thought to be an older form of Bulgarian, AND OCS is considered to have descended from Proto-Slavic (aka Common Slavic).  However, you're first claiming that Proto-Slavic is a mixture of Bulgarian and Thracian and then that OCS is a mixture of Bulgarian and Thracian, then there seems to a problem.  First, which one are you really claiming to be a mixture ot Thracian and Bulgarian?  Next, in your mind, which predates which -- Proto-Slavic or OCS?  According to what you're saying, Bulgarian predates either Proto-Slavic or OCS or both.  In any of the three cases, how can Bulgarian be the ancestor of its ancestor?

       Hello,
   Bulgarians have come to Thracia somethere from territory of modern Ukraine or Russia. I ment that Old Church Slavonic language have appeared as mix of Thracian and Bulgarian language. I think Old Church Slavonic have made big influence to modern Slavic languages.
