WIKITONGUES: Dragan speaking Macedonian
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2015
- Macedonian is spoken by about 2 million people, principally in the Republic of Macedonia, where it is the only nationally official language, as well as in pockets of Eastern Europe's Macedonia region, which includes parts of Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, and Serbia. A South Slavic language, it is closely related to Bulgarian, Slovene, and the Serbo-Croatian languages, and more distantly so to Polish, Czech, and Russian. Read more on Wikipedia: bit.ly/1L8QVc7.

I'm Bulgarian and understood everything he said, but, unlike other people, I'm not gonna shittalk about Macedonian. Instead, I'm gonna say Hello, neighbour! Hope you proceed with your studies and passion for folklore! / fellow Bulgarian
What do you mean ''fellow Bulgarian''?? he is a Vlach! No one likes you in Europe why don't you go back to Asia where you came from!
Chill. I meant fellow Bulgarian as in myself, not him. I understood what he said about being Vlach.
Thank you! It is always nice to see supportive and respectful people and thank you for that. Поздрав од една Македонка.
fuck macedonia
@@thenin4e sadly us bulgarians can't see that.... I'm proud of macedonia good luck guys. Pozdravi!!
Dragan. Such a cool name. I bet he breathes fire.
KONSTANTIN XXX lol 😂
KONSTANTIN XXX your a hellenized albanian arvanite lol
KONSTANTIN XXX the only reason why your artificial state created by Otto and European philhellenes and albanian arvanites lie about Macedonian history is to lay territorial claims on Macedonia otherwise you would be swimming with the fish in Athens
@KONSTANTIN XXX The Minoans were similarly non-Greek and non-Indo-European, that doesn't stop anyone from appreciating their culture. If they were still alive today, they would probably also say about the Greeks what Greeks are now saying about the Slavic Macedonians.
KONSTANTIN XXX find a better talking point other than “waaaah they’re stealing our culture by using a name”
I can confidently say as an English speaker that I understood a massive 0% of this😂
Even when he said Informatika, Folklor, Amerika, Afrika, Rio etc.?
I am a native Polish speaker and I understood 50% of what he said I’m surprised 😮
Well we both speak slavic language
Ah, that is nice to be heard! Ах, ова е прекрасно да се слушне!
I know a couple of Polish people who came to Macedonia and learned the language surprisingly easy and were really fluent in like three months or so. From my experience, it doesn't seem as other Slavic speakers can pick Macedonian up as successfully as Poles can.
@@z.nastoski7055 Poles speak the hardest Slavic language to learn so it is quite obvious that all other Slavic languages are easy for them.
@@andrzejdobrowolski9523 No, language complexity is difficult to measure. And Polish is not an extraordinary Slavic language.
I love the South Slavic languages! They're so pretty!
This is a dialect continium of Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian!
And aren't we pretty as well
That's a great thing about Slavic languages: they are all fairly similar enough that one can understand another and/or easily learn a nearby country's language. I speak English and Spanish, live in Canada, so I hear/read French and, therefore, I sort of understand Italian. They're really not THAT different. I also have friends and family from all over Former Yugoslavia (Balkan) countries. They understand each other well enough.
@@GorgeousGeorge97 What makes you say that?
South Slavic languages sound so beautiful to me, I especially like Serbo-Croatian. Bulgarian is also beautiful in its own right but I think I prefer Macedonian since it sounds more like Serbo-Croatian while Bulgarian sounds a bit more Russian-ish to me. Love from a Greek-Swede
Macedonian? That's Greek.
Sending some love to my Greek brotha Love from a Bosnian-Swede. Vart bor du?
@@Zhiivago Norrköping 😄 Själv då?
clear and well done .. thanks
Probably the least Slavic-sounding Slavic language. I like it!
Lol its literally a mix n match. Mostly Bulgarian but with serbocroatian influences
The Balkanid Languages were originally non Slavic looking more distantly similar to Greek which next to Albania are the only Balkanid Nations that haven't been Slavicized.
Greeting neighbor, glad you came to Tirana for a seminar :)
sounds hot
As a guy from south-east Serbia, I understand this like my own dialect. It just flows into my ear.
Just like Shopski from western Bulgaria.
If west Bulgaria, Macedonia and south-east Serbia were one country, they would function perfectly. It's sad that both Serbia and Bulgaria are trying to destroy these dialects without mercy. Macedonians were lucky to have their language survive.
Keep preservung your dialects. Macedonian is such a cool language. The dialects make it even more awesome.
Love from Singapore.
Thanks. I wish we could. But local people are mostly ashamed of it. In movies, and TV shows, the dialect is used in a very negative way. (Hillbillies, illiterate farmers etc). Women are especially ashamed... They try to speak as correct as possible. All local patriots are men.
I know I've seen a study that said, by the end of the century, only about 200 languages will survive. (that's basically the number of countries and their formal languages.)
By the start of your comment I thought you were going to bash on Macedonians like many people do and I appreciate that you realize the similarities but understand that it doesnt take away from the language itself. My great grandparents came to the US in the early 1900’s and its frustrating to read on all of the disputes and violence spewed between some of the countries. Im determined to teach myself the language and in every video the comments are flooded with hate towards the country as a whole and its frustrating to see people so hung up on dividing rather than uniting

I'm from the (north) west of Bulgaria and the guy sounds like he lives down the road from us. haha
he is speaking with an eastern Macedonian dialect
as a czech i could understand 65%
very handsome guy
+Tracie Amber Wilkinson for thinking the guy is handsome? Um.. Okay...
Criticizes another woman for being "very slutty" for remarking on the handsomeness of the guy in the video, while at the same time on her own youtube channel she describes herself as "single and ready to mingle", with a love of alcohol (amongst other things) which exceeds her love of life itself. You sound like a bit of a loose woman yourself Florida girl.
Macedonian guys are really handsome. Most of them are gorgeous as fuck.
Small dicks, stay away from them
Jenny, maybe you were just too lucky.
he said he is a vlach who speaks Macedonian
Bulgarian*
all these angry greeks and bulgarians in the comments, lmao Macedonia is literally recognized as its own country that has its own language and its own church
Macedonia is not a country
As a Serb i understood everything.
Serbian here, vicinity of Belgrade. Understood every word with no difficulty. Truly we only speak dialects of the same language.
Today so-called Macedonian is Bulgarian language with some dialect,..it’s a Slavic language
The true Macedonian language was Albanian Geg dialect
Alexander the Great learned Greek language from Aristoteli,.. he spoke to his army in mother tongue language which was Geg Albanian
Even Capital of Athens Greece mostly spoke Albanian language or Arvanitika to get a better understanding just have look in RUclips ( documentary which shocked Greece ) you will get a better picture how Greece started to become as a nation
Most of the ancient words even though is written in Ancient Greek ,..the meaning is done in Albanian language
When Albanian say is the oldest language,..it’s not a myth,..is the ancient language of this region
Today Greek language is called romaik language or Pontic Greek language,..this language come from Istanbul or Constantinople and Anatolia ,...Greece had a population exchange with Turkey before becoming a nation,...they got rit of some Albanians as Turks and took back Pontic Greeks or Anatolian Greeks in today Greece

i'm russian. I got that his name is Dragan, he is 20 years old, living in Shtip, Macedonia, he is of Vlach heritage (i.e romanian, влахи (vlakhi ) is an old name for romanians in russian). Also he said something like vlachs are indigenous people of the region he is from like native americans in America. He studies informatics (the city of Shtip is famous as one of the educational centers of the country). Also he is fond of folklore (?) he literally said he plays folklore, but i didn't get what it means though. Maybe playing folklore music or reading and studying about it. He hopes he will become a professional one day. He likes to meet new people, traveling (has been to China, South Africa, visited Rio Carnival, came to Tirana for a seminar.
Great job, that is very accurate.
@@ladev91 фаntamazing, well done ✅👍 bravo, greetings by the way 🇲🇰🙏☀️❤️🎶
The subtitles may have helped a bit.
Nice! What he means with the folklore part is that he’s in a folklore dancing group. “Играње” means playing, but also dancing :)
@@user-wt2rs2dr2v thanks! In Russian we have separate words for playing and dancing: игра and танцы, that's why i was little bit confused :) Have a nice Day!
Dragan, I really like the way you pronounce certain words and where you place the accent. It is not quite "literary" but as a Canadian Macedonian who hails from the Lerin region of Aegian Macedonia I was able to understand you perfectly. All the best!
My family also comes Aegean Macedonia (though some have some ties to Italy, as well (all Mediterranean people are related somehow). They live in Toronto, now.

When hearing this, have in mind that he speaks in an accent, because the pronunciation and the usage of some words is a bit off
You couldn't be more right. Such a pity!
Yes there is a bit of an accent is not the Macedonian you hear on TV
No i'ts not "off", it's a dialect. He abides to the rules of his unstandardized form, just like how all spoken Macedonian is.
you definitely hear the greek/italian/roman sounds and the slavic sounds in a mixture
BRO I THOUGHT I ONLY KNEW BULGARIAN ENGLISH AND SPANISH AND NOW I KNOW A 4TH LANGUAGE
girl macedonian is literally a dialect of bulgarian and the ppl are ethnically bulgarian so like
i thought i tapped on a video about Vlacho-Macedonian i.e. Aromanian and I was very confused
He’s beautiful 😍
He is now 30
I’m surprised I understood a lot of things
Did he say Macadamia
Hi. I have no idea what was said. But your accent is cool.
Here is a translation:
Hello, I'm Dragan Georgiev! I'm 20 years old! And I live in Shtip, Macedonia (nowadays North Macedonia)! I belong to the Vlach minority, who live in Macedonia.
The Vlachs have been then... The ancestors who lived in Macedonia, as how the Native Americans in America, so the Vlachs in Macedonia. Not only in Macedonia but in the Balkans as well.
Ugh, another thing about me to say that I'm studying Informatics in Shtip, one of the university cities in Macedonia. So I'm studying Informatics. Ugh, I want to do something. Also I'm playing folkore, because the folklore is my passion and like as hobby.
Um, I have read a lot about a lot of places of the folklore and I still want to exercize with it. And I hope 1 day to exercise with folklora.
Ugh, I want to do something, meeting with new personas, to buy different food. Also I've really wanted to go to China, South Africa, then to Rio (Rio De Janeiro) to feel the carnival. At the moment to find a workshop in Tirana, Albania. It's very nice to us, we enjoy, get together, meet with many people and so... Thanks, bye!

Yeah, I'm Aromanian from Romania
Yes Macedonia help them. Greece not.
@@kirilibarvalos554 Vlachs in Greece don't see themselves as a minority and they are very close to other ethnic Greek populations like the sarakatsani. They have the option to be taught the language but they refuse to do so to signify their ethnic identity. They mostly use the aromanian language as a traditional aspect of Greek culture which they mostly teach at home. Stop trying to demonize Greece in that regard because people like you have started to become insufferable due to your ignorance.

Slavo-Macedonian or Macedonian Bulgarian dialects. Simply Macedonian is misleading because Macedonian is an area with many languages and certainly not one ethinicity, historically and presently.

As a Macedonian I can say that he has a very thick accent. My accent and his is like the difference between American and British. I’m from the north and he is from the east.
@KONSTANTIN XXX well all Slavs can understand each other to a degree. We can even understand Polish or Czech if they speak slow and we try to listen carefully.

Serbian and Macedonian are inteligible?
they are
Macedonian: prashanje
Bulgarian: vepros
Question
Macedonian: te sakam
Bulgarian: obicham te
i love you
Macedonian: Kako se vikash?
Bulgarian: Kak se kazvash?
Whats ur name
Macedonian: Jas ke odam
Bulgarian: Az shte hodya
Im gonna go
Macedonia: Baknezh
Bulgarian: Celuvka
Kiss
Macedonian: Tepa
Bulgarian: Bie
Kicking someones ass
And manyyyy other words, btw if Bulgarians say these are serbian words just so u know none of these words is used in Serbian but only in Macedonian and I can mention 10000 more…Macedonian is not a dialect of Bulgarian its a separate language, they are pretty similar and slavic but its not a dialect!!
Here better example:
Question:
Bulgarian: въпрос (văpros); прашане (prašane) - dialect
Macedonian: прашање (prašanje); вопрос (vopros) - archaic
I love you:
Bulgarian: обичам те (običam te); любя те (ljubja te) - old fashion; сакам те (sakam te) - dialect
Macedonian: те сакам (te sakam); те љубам (te ljubam)
What's your name?
Bulgarian: Как се казваш? (Kak se kazvaš?); Как ти е името? (Kak ti e imeto?) - literally
Macedonian: Како се викаш? (Kako se vikaš?); Како ти е името? (Kako ti e imeto?)
I will go
Bulgarian: Аз ще ходя (Az šte hodja); Язе ке одам (Jaze ke odam) - dialect
Macedonian: Jас ќе одам (Jas ḱe odam)
Kiss
Bulgarian: целувка (celuvka)
Macedonian: бакнеж (baknež)
To hit:
Bulgarian: бия (bija); тепам (tepam) - dialect
Macedonian: биjам (bijam); тепам (tepam)
99% is the same difference as British and American English. Also you are wrong. Kako is used in Serbian as well! Most of these phrases that you showed me are just dialect phrases which are not written in the Standard language. Bulgaria has many dialects as North Macedonia.
Let me settle all the arguments with this piece of evidence. My family is Macedonian and from the part that Greece took over, Aegean Macedonia, from a city now called Florina that use to be called Lerin in Macedonian. Now, for all those saying we speak Bulgarian and our language was made up in 1945, then why do my Baba and Dedo who were born before 1945 identify as Macedonian and identify the language they speak as Macedonian? Also why did their parents and their parents before them do the same? Even though we are from the "Greek Macedonia" none of our ancestors spoke a word of Greek or Bulgarian, excluding that both Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian are relatively easily understood because they're part of the South Slavic Language FAMILY!
As for Macedonians being Greek, I actually got DNA testing done for me and my family and the results were not surprising. Yes we can all say with confidence that Ancient Macedonians were a Hellenic people who spoke a Hellenic language, but they were a separate people. Almost like how Canada and the US speak English and have similar culture/customs, but consider themselves different from one another. So when I got my DNA back, sure enough half my DNA is Hellenic (Greek) DNA (most likely Ancient Macedonian) and the other half was Slavic DNA. Macedonians are the only Slavic people who have this much Hellenic DNA in them and it is because we are still Macedonian, only we now speak a Slavic language instead of a Hellenic one.
It shouldn't matter what language a Macedonian speaks, a modern Macedonian is someone with half Hellenic (Ancient Macedonian) and half Slavic DNA mixed together. Just like if you were to take a Bulgarian's DNA, most of it would be Slavic, but a lot of it would also be from the Bulgars, the ancient Turkic people who existed in Bulgaria prior to the Slavic people coming down and mixing with them bringing Slavic culture and language. Macedonians and Greeks should not be fighting, genetically we are closer than anyone else in Eastern Europe. We have the most unique sounding Slavic language and a lot of our vocabulary and grammar has been influenced by Greek and so has our culture. The Macedonians in Greece should be allowed to speak their modern language, but I also think it's important for all Macedonians and Greeks to understand our genetic roots and that language should not separate us. We should embrace the differences we have. I hope that one day the Greek and Macedonian people can reunite in peace and use both the modern Macedonian language and the Modern Greek language to express our culture together! Let's make peace, not war
The fact that you can speak with Bulgarians and completely understand each other,while you cant understand anything inscripted in Macedonian ancient artifacts doesnt somehow make you think that you actually write bullshit??
@@MrAbagaz Sorry you're wrong, I had to teach myself Bulgarian. It was easy to learn because it's somewhat similar, but it still took time to learn the differences in the grammar, vocabulary, and extremely different pronunciation of similar words. My Mother and Baba who both speak Macedonian can barely understand Bulgarian, because they never bothered to learn. Oh and we also speak Greek and we're from the Greek part of Macedonia, how does that make us Bulgarian? Do you have a brain? It doesn't sound like it. And I've done genetic testing on my whole family and we're all ancestors of the people in the entire region of Macedonia. It was a 60% ancient Greek and 40% South Slavic DNA. This is what it means to be a modern Macedonian. We have the Ancient blood of the original Macedonians only we got mixed with Slavs and starting speaking the Modern Day Macedonian language. Also the Macedonian language has specific grammatical features that don't even exist in Bulgarian or other Slavic languages. One example is that we have 9 articles instead of 3 in Bulgarian and 0 in other Slavic languages. Our conjugations are very different and we have very rich verb system with up to 29 tenses. No other Slavic languages, including Bulgarian have these features. Macedonian is a distinct Slavic language that was heavily influenced by Ancient Greek. In fact it's estimated that we have over 500 Ancient Greek words that we still use and Greeks don't. The Cyrillic alphabet was created by Saint Kiril and Saint Metodi of Macedonia and was based off the Greek alphabet! Macedonian and Greek history are very intertwined and this is why we should have a Greek and Macedonia kingdom rather than being separated from each other over what language we're using. But you go ahead and keep believing what you want. I have a degree in Linguistics, so I kinda know what I'm talking about. Have a good day :)
You’re a fascist and racist.
Peace Europe, there is a place for every language and nation under your sky.
@@petervandelinderopashinov4372You are a complete Slavic people...the fact that in the course of time you people have developed a distinct national identity and consciousness,different from the Bulgarian one doesn't change the fact that the actual language you are speaking is a bulgarian dialect.Your language is decoded after a specific dialect spoken in the southern westernmost point of Bulgarian language range,while the official Bulgarian language according to the dialects of Sofia...let alone the changes that your language has undergone after your region was encompassed in Yugoslavia (first the kingdom and then the Socialist one).Expressions of Bulgarian ethnic consciousness have completely been suppressed for many years in the row.You are just the aftermath of the massive slavic migrations that took place in the middle ages,the tribes that settled in Eastern Roman Macedonia.The nucleus of the ancient Macedonian kingdom before its expansion further towards the north,lied around the Olympus and Vermion mountains in Imathia region...way too south from our current borders.The places you inhabit were called Paeonia and the people Paeonians.You are not Macedonians,you are Slavs
@@MrAbagaz My DNA results say otherwise and now so does the Greek government. Even the Greek government had to capitulate that the Macedonian people are a separate people with there own language. Watch the news. It's called the Prespa Agreement. Пусти Гркин!

Its not a language its a Bulgarian dialect...
KONSTANTIN XXX It is sure that we can all understand in some closer or further way because the Macedonian language is based on the slavic mouth dialects of the macedonian territory. It isn’t Bulgarian because the Bulgarian standard language is based on a different dialect. Bulgarian belongs to the Bulgarian nation and consciousness and not to those who are Macedonian. There is truly a big difference. We have today Greek and Serbian and Bulgarian speaking Macedonians but they are calling themselves Macedonians and belong to the Macedonian consciousness/identity. Is it clear now?
I like the Sound of the Bulgarian language
Half the comments say"This is Bulgarian". I know they are similar. But Macedonian deviated from Bulgarian decades ago.
OK. Then I don't speak English, I speak American. Actually I speak New York. No, sorry it's actually Queensian. It's an ancient language, very different from English. I can't believe wikitongues hasn't represented my language yet, unacceptable bigotry.
In other words it can't ve related to ancient macedonia in any way thanks for confirming it

Ancient Macedonian was a Greek dialect. This is just a Slavic language. No comparison
@Arch Stanton My language is Polish. :)
It must suck to be nazi ;)
@Arch Stanton There’s no nazis in Poland, Brussels just wants to destroy us and they’re calling us nazis while in Nazi Republic of Former Ottoman Provinces of Morea and Sołuń there are nazi marches with over 200.000 people 😂😂😂😂
@Arch Stanton Actually majority of Poles are not like him. Why do you think we are nazis?
It sounds so similar to Bulgarian. I wouldn't even know it's Macedonian if I heard it.
Vadim That’s because it’s a dialect of Bulgarian.

Не, грешка си со твоето реторичко прашање. Тој говори, односно зборува на македонски дијалект од штипскиот регион кој е блиску до бугарската граница, што е нормално да има мало бугарско влијание со оглед на тоа што зборува на дијалект. Но, еве ќе ти докажам дека јазикот е различен, „а кво говориш ти бе?“ не е дел од македонскиот јазик, и на македонски јазик би било „на кој јазик зборуваш ти? на каков јазик говориш?“ или пак „што зборуваш“ иако во овој контекст „што зборуваш“ повеќе би се однесувало на темата на која говори, а не на тоа каков јазик говори. Дали ме разбра Јанис што пишувам? Ајде да видиме што, колку, и дали нешто си разбрал од литературниот македонски јазик на кој што ти пишувам, кога веќе го истоветуваш со бугарскиот.

"sakam" exist in Bulgarian too and it is used in most of our Folk songs but not often in the Standard speech. We even have "šta" for "I want"

Found the nationalist. By the way, just because the Macedonians are related to you it does not mean you are one and the same. Macedonia is a country which might I remind you Bulgaria officially recognised when they became independent.
15 idiots upvote that nazi
And these 15 nazis will be in hell, because the God doesn't want rasist in the Heaven :)
@@geliefdeliefde2339 The language you are refering to is the Bulgar language which is a dead language. The Bulgarian of today exsists as a Slavic language.Both are totally different from each other.
This is probably the language that Persians heard when Alexander and his troops first landed in modern day Turkey. Hahaha Macedonian my ass,this is pure Bulgarian.
With some Serbian
Macedonian is a dead language and was a dialect of Greek. This is Macedonian Bulgarian - the literary form of Bulgarian that is used as official language in the Republic of Macedonia. It was created in 1945 and before that most Macedonian literature was written in Standard Bulgarian. The proper term, Macedonian Bulgarian, is similar to terms like Austrian German, Swiss German, American English or Belgian French. Calling the language "Macedonian" is incorrect - it is the same as saying "Austrian" language, "Belgian" language or "American" language.
You’re a nazi.
I pity the people around you.
@@igekal2309 No, I am simply referring to a fact from linguistics. There's books written about it. Read them. Maybe reading more books will make you realize how juvenile it is to personally insult anyone whose opinion is not convenient for you. Best wishes :)
@Dean S We can't speak a dialect of "Macedonian language" because that language died before even Alexander the Great. Alexander and his empire was using Classical Greek. As for Bulgarian being a Turkic language - HAHAHAHAH - okay. Maybe you should read a book. Something different from North Macedonian nationalist propaganda. You can start with the Wikipedia article on the Slavic languages - Bulgarian is included there. The first documents in Bulgarian that we have are from the 9th century and it clearly is a Slavic language. Church books were taken from Bulgaria to Russia in the 10th century and copied and used there. Unless the Russians also speak "a asian Turkic" language, I don't see how they could have used Bulgarian books. :)
@@igekal2309 everyone I don't like is a literal Nazi
@Milosh Simonovski No, nobody in Bulgaria wants or needs land in Macedonia. And yes, there are over 2 million Bulgarians today with a grandparent or great-grandparent from Macedonia, who had strong Bulgarian consciousness, just like the 350,000 people living in Pirin Macedonia who also have strong Bulgarian identity.
So, we owe it to all these people to keep reminding the world that the Macedonian and Bulgarian are two norms of the same language; that all Macedonian literature prior to 1945 was written in Standard Bulgarian; that the Macedonian people all throughout the 19th and early 20th century were setting up Bulgarian municipalities, schools and churches with their own money and labor; that Macedonian writers, politicians and revolutionaries in thousands of documents clearly named their own language "Bulgarian" and their own people "Bulgarians".
All signs of Bulgarian identity in Macedonia have been systematically vandalized or falsified ever since 1913, and this still continues today. Macedonians with Bulgarian consciousness are repressed - we have so many examples of people losing their jobs, arrested, questioned by police, threatened and their property damaged just because they publicly call themselves Bulgarian. Their children go to schools where they are forced to learn that being "Bulgarian" means that you are "Mongol", "fascist", "occupier". All instances of mentioning the Bulgarian nation in Macedonian history books are negative and historically inaccurate, while the Bulgarian consciousness that so many Macedonian forefathers (like Gotse Delchev and Yane Sandanski) have expressed in their own writings is completely erased from any textbooks.
We should be friends, because we are brothers.
But how can we make it happen with all this rampant hate and denial against Bulgaria that your children are educated in? It has to stop.
If Macedonia comes to terms and admits the fact that we share a language, a culture and a history, it will be much easier for Bulgaria to recognize the modern self-identification of the Macedonian people, which most Bulgarians actually support.
This is literally Bulgarian. 😒

He actually speaks a Macedonian dialect from the area of Stip. This is not the literature language, but a regional dialect. Nonetheless, I find it cute, especially when spoken by girls.
It’s Bulgarian.
Lucid Dreamer It was well thought out but claiming the difference being like Spanish and Italian is way too far off. That’s comparing apples to oranges. He is speaking Bulgarian, with an accent. You can’t go to Italy, speak Spanish and have then understand EVERY single word. A better comparison would be going to London and then traveling to some villages down south and listening to them speak, it’s English, with a southern accent. Same with all villages and smaller towns having a thicker accent compared to the original city talk. Macedonians speak Bulgarian with a Macedonian accent. There’s no other influence. I can’t speak Serbian, I don’t understand Serbs. I don’t speak Turkish nor can I understand them. I speak Bulgarian and this is WORD for WORD Bulgarian. This is the same as England and America speaking English. Except America gives credit where credit is due and doesn’t pretend it’s a different language. Macedonia was only recently made its own territory, they didn’t claim to speak Macedonian before that time. They ADMITTED they spoke Bulgarian so what’s the problem now?
@Lucid DreamerMany linguists agree that Macedonian and Bulgarian are very closely related languages. The Bugarians still think it is a dialect of Bulgarian. However, this is just a nationalist narritive.
