The Tinto maps list the court languages of Bulgaria and Wallachia as being Bulgarian and Romanian, while both of them use Church Slavonic as a liturgical language. However, back then Bulgarian and Church Slavonic were actually the same language, today termed Middle Bulgarian — today's Church Slavonic, referring specifically to the East Slavic recension established by Smotritskyi, did not exist. Additionally, the Romanian principalities both used the Middle Bulgarian language as an administrative (until the 16th century) and liturgical (until the 18th century) language,
What I propose is this — either Bulgaria and the Romanian principalities have Church Slavonic as a both court and liturgical language, or they both have Bulgarian as a court language and Church Slavonic as a liturgical one (though either way the distinction between "Bulgarian" and "Church Slavonic" is rather fluid)
