Answer 1

Just over 2 million live in Macedonia. (2,034,000 officially)
In Greece there are about 2.65 million
Bulgaria has 340,000

That makes roughly 5 million.
And "Uncle George" doesn't seem to know his history very well, nor understand too much about tact and facts.

Answer 2

Here we are again! The same Slavic propaganda question! And of course a propaganda answer will be chosen!
Let’s start from the beginning!
There is the real Macedonia which is in Greece! And of course it is inhabited by real Macedonians who happen to be Greeks. Therefore the real Macedonians equal the population of Greeks which is nearly 20 millions worldwide!
There is also the Slavic-Macedonia (FYROM or Makedonija) which has a population of 2 million and it is inhabitant by Slavs, Albanians, Turks, and a few other ethnicities. The Slav-Macedonians are nearly 1 million and the Albanian-Macedonians are about 8hundred thousands.
There are about 150 thousands Slav-Macedonians around the world and probably 75thousands Albanian-Macedonians!
The ancient kingdom of Macedonia was of course a Greek kingdom and it had no relation with modern Slavic Macedonia.
Alexander the Great was Greek from Greek Macedonia and he spread the Greek civilization and not a Slavic one!!
There are though a few fanatics like the asker who completely ignore history, their country’s policy and they post so unhistorical and completely fanatic questions!!
Lets see what you government says about your propaganda!
These are official Slav-Macedonian statements:
“On 22 January 1999, Ambassador of the FYROM to USA, Ljubica Achevska gave a speech on the present situation in the Balkans. In answering questions at the end of her speech Mrs. Acevshka said: "We do not claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great … Greece is Macedonia’s second largest trading partner, and its number one investor. Instead of opting for war, we have chosen the mediation of the United Nations, with talks on the ambassadorial level under Mr. Vance and Mr. Nemitz." In reply to another question about the ethnic origin of the people of FYROM, Ambassador Achevska stated that "we are Slavs and we speak a Slav language”.
first President of FYROM (Slav Macedonia), Kiro Gligorov said: “We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians" (Foreign Information Service Daily Report, Eastern Europe, February 26, 1992, p. 35). Also, Mr Gligorov declared: "We are Macedonians but we are Slav Macedonians. That's who we are! We have no connection to Alexander the Greek and his Macedonia… Our ancestors came here in the 5th and 6th century" (Toronto Star, March 15, 1992).
On 24 February 1999, in an interview with the Ottawa Citizen, Gyordan Veselinov, FYROM'S Ambassador to Canada, admitted, "We are not related to the northern Greeks who produced leaders like Philip and Alexander the Great. We are a Slav people and our language is closely related to Bulgarian." He also commented, “There is some confusion about the identity of the people of my country".
Unfortunately the asker can not understand how much he damages his country!
I have to state that the asker’s opinion does not represent the opinion of the Slav-Macedonians and it must not used to characterize the entire population!

Answer 3

Macedonians were never slavs.
Macedonians, Athenians, Thebians, Lakons had the same language, they had the same Gods, they had the same culture and they all participated in Olympic Games together.

Therefore

The "real" Macedonians, means they who have the culture and the background of Alexandros are.:
10 million in Greece and other 10 million abroad. We don't seperate the macedonians from Athenians or Spartans on these days.:
