due to the influence of the Balkan sprachbund. For example, "I want to write" in several Balkan languages: But here is an example of a relict form, preserved in Bulgarian: Bare subjunctive constructions Sentences that include only a subjunctive construction can be used to express a wish, a mild command, an intention, or a suggestion. This example translates in the Balkan languages the phrase "You should go!", using the subjunctive constructions. Morphology Postposed article With the exception of Greek, Serbo-Croatian, and Romani, all languages in the union have their definite article attached to the end of the noun, instead of before it. None of the related languages (like other Romance languages or Slavic languages) share this feature, with the notable exception of the northern Russian dialects, and it is thought to be an innovation created and spread in the Balkans. It is possible that postposed article in Balkan Slavic is the result of influence from Balkan Romance languages (Romanian or Aromanian) during the Middle ages. However, each language created its own internal articles, so the Romanian articles are related to the articles (and demonstrative pronouns) in Italian, French, etc., whereas the Bulgarian articles are related to demonstrative pronouns in other Slavic languages. Numeral formation The Slavic way of composing the numbers between 10 and 20, e.g. "one + on + ten" for eleven, called superessive, is widespread. Greek does not follow this. Albanian has preserved the vigesimal system, which is considered to be an remnant from a Pre-Indo-European language. The number 20 is described njëzet and 40 as dyzet. In some dialects '60' and '80' still may be used. All other Balkan languages lack at this. Clitic pronouns Direct and indirect objects are cross-referenced, or doubled, in the verb phrase by a clitic (weak) pronoun, agreeing with the object in gender, number, and case or case function. This can be found in Romanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Albanian. In Albanian and Macedonian, this feature shows fully grammaticalized structures and is obligatory with indirect objects and to some extent with definite direct objects; in Bulgarian, however, it is optional and therefore based on discourse. In Greek, the construction contrasts with the clitic-less construction and marks the cross-referenced object as a topic. Southwest Macedonia appears to be the location of innovation. For example, "I see George" in Balkan languages: Note: The neutral case in normal (SVO) word order is without a clitic:
