Statue of the Bulgarian cleric Kiril Peychinovich (1770-1865) in Skopje, Macedonia
Kiril Peychinovich or Kiril Pejcinovik (c. 1770 - 7 March 1865) was a cleric, writer and enlightener, one of the first supporters of the use of modern Bulgarian in literature (as opposed to Church Slavonic), and one of the early figures of the Bulgarian National Revival. In the Republic of Macedonia Peychinovich is considered one of the earliest contributors to modern Macedonian literature, since most of his works were written in his native Lower Polog dialect which he called most common and illiterate Bulgarian language of Lower Moesia.
