Tom Hanks' character in The Terminal speaks Bulgarian

The Terminal is a 2004 film directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones. An Eastern European visitor becomes a resident of a New York airport terminal when a war breaks out and erases his country from the map, voiding his passport. He makes friends with the airport staff and falls in love with a flight attendant. The language which Hanks' character speaks in the film is "Krakozhian". It is supposedly close to or a dialect of Russian to the point of mutual understanding, but is actually slightly-accented literary Bulgarian.
