HMMM? What a co-incidence there is a state in greece that is called macedonia and these people that live in this part speak a language called macedonian and the country above Greece today is called Macedonia oh oh sorry FYROM(Former Yugoslav Republic Of MACEDONIA) and they speak that same language that is very strange!!! I really think this country was one at some point in time and it was call MACEDONIA (MAKEDONIJA which is written in the macedonian language!!!)

you got it all wrong there ragzeus!! cities as far as Katerini,Kozani,Drama,Voden,Kavala,Solun should i keep going? Then all have people that speak "Macedonian"!!! Not Greek "Macedonian" There are Macedonians all over the world that are from the now Greek part that are not allowed to go back to there city or villages to see where they where born. And please do not hate the facts by offending the of rainbow group(zino jito) by calling them gay! the only gay people i know are greeks!! Are you trying to change names of cities again It Is "BITOLA" not (Monastery) never was. Lots of brain washed greeks its ok to come out of the closet and say you are macedonian no one will beat you anymore!! its ok really!!

Ahhhhh ragzeus Wake up!!!! That is pretty good that you know how to copy a story straight out of a books that your greek teacher gave to you!! its ok the Greek lies are getting uncovered!! Soon us Macedonians will get are land back all three parts just like what happened in the gaza strip will happen to you guys, and the capital city will be SOLUN no more (Thessloniki), as for my question "ragzeus" all you have to do to get the right answer is ask your father what language your grandfather and your great grandfather spoke which is clearly "MACEDONIAN" if you are from northern greece because i usually do not have a problem with greek from the south because alot of them say that yes Macedonia was one and it was divided into three and don't put up a fight! But the brainwashed ones are the ones that do!!! MACEDONIA FOR THE MACEDONIANS!!!!!!!!!!!

In the Greek part of Macedonia, Macedonians speak Macedonian language, but the Greek government force them to speak Greek. If they speak their own mother tongue, they will be put in prison as political prisoners.

It'll be very easy to know why,if you travel around or to take a look on a map then you'll find that the northern part of Greece is on the border of the new republic of Macedonia which used to be part of Yugoslavia also bordering
Eastern Europe who're Slavs.The same thing you find it in America(any State sharing borders
with Mexico or large numbers in Miami,Fl
Spanish is the spoken language more than
English.

Though ragzeus was quite to the point, I would add that there are Greeks who live in central and west Macedonia, and of course by the term "Macedonia" I refer to what you call Northern Greece, and not to the hybrid state located north of Greece, who speak an idiom which combines slavic, turkish and greek elements. It is usually elderly people who still speak in that idiom, because they were alive
when it was actually used in the area, which has gone through excessive political turmoil. However, i) you can find noone who speaks only that idiom and not Greek, ii) there is only a slight minority of people who speak that idiom who claim no to be Greeks but of another ethnic origin, allegedly Macedonian, when such an ethnicity does not exist as everybody knows, and iii) still,
there is absolutely no opression from the Greek state and the Greek government towards those people, who can freely speak that idiom. My uncle originates from a village where a lot of people speak it, he does too, and I can assure you he feels genuinely greek, genuinely macedonian.

People in whole Macedonia (Aegean, Pirin and Vardar) speak Macedonian language, not Slavs, where is term Slavs before Kiril and Metodie? Slav means glory, they who have letters first, and "Slavs" in whole world speak Macedonian dialect because with centuries Macedonian nation grow up and most of Macedonians mixed with others nations. Greeks not grow up and Byzantine Empire needed people in Greece. In Byzantine Empire come people from Georgia and from Africa,because there weren't enough people in Greece, and because they didn't understand between self used coini (Ancient Greek) Language. Coini language including Persian, Midians, Spartans, Macedonians, Jewish words and Ancient world use that one how we English now. In Ottoman Empire that new Greeks mixed with Turkish, and they have more Turkish culture than Greeks. That Greeks are not Ancient Greeks, but if they wont to bee Greeks, OK.
Macedonians are descendents of Ancient Macedonians, Macedonians don't make stories, they have always lived with name Macedonia.
For Antigone: First we have never been slaves Greek and we not becoming that.How can Romans slaves to have slaves, "Greeks" were under Byzantine Empire.You think people from Russia and Poland were your slaves?! Wake up, you even don't know what are you, African, Georgian or Turkish?!
To say someone will become your slave is Nazism and you are with your sentences far away from civilized world.

maybe u mean people who live in FYROM?
P.S. (to rouse): The term 'Slav' does not mean glory. This is a misconception created on purpose by your usurper barbarian tribe, in order to hide its true meaning. The word comes from the Greek word slave (σκλάβος), later adopted by the Romans and thus transefered to the rest of the -civilized- world. The word slave became a characteristic of your tribe, since that was your main trait, you were slaves to the Greeks, plowing their fields and herding their cattle, not smart or skilled enough to do anything else but the menial tasks. You were even given special areas to build your houses, that in the Byzantine empire were known as Sklavounies or Sklavinies. Wake up and accept your past. Nomatter how shamefull it is, it's still your past. You were slaves to the Greeks, and that's what you are becoming again...
