[quote:Nick the Greek 6488616:MV8xMDI4NTA1XzMzMzEzNDM0X0VDQjhEMDEx] http://www.macedonia.co.uk/client/index1.aspx?page=14 For a nation to preserve its own national language and to protect it as something sacred means that it remains loyal to the spirit of its ancestors and respectful for what they had created...These words were spoken by a [self-declared] Bulgarian Patriot going by the name of Krste Misirkov. http://www.misirkov.org/biography.htm In 1903, before the Balkan Wars, Krste Misirkov wrote a book called "About Macedonian Matters." FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs consider him one of their founding forefathers. http://www.macedoniainfo.com/Krste_Misirkov.htm Self decalred Bulgarian Patriot. http://www.misirkov.org/kpm_zmr_eng.htm Interesting to note: He wrote his book using the Bulgarian Cyrillic Script...his native language. FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs claim him as one of their own...a Macedonian! Clearly, something is wrong. Krste Misirkov declared himself a Patriotic Bulgarian but FYRoM claims him as a Macedonian when clearly he was Not, he was Bulgarian. Evidently there exists a blurriness clouding FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs ethnic-racial, cultural and linguistic ancestral heritage. They claim a self-declared Bulgarian as one of their own...the same way they claim a self-declared Greek, Alexander the Great, the ancient-Greek King of Macedon. In reality, FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs are ethnic and racial South-Slavs from Serbian and Bulgarian stock. In plain terms and simple language: They are Not the Macedonians they think they are. As for their so called Macedonian-language: It is characterised by a system of 31 phonemes and by a rather fixed accent that should fall upon the antepenultimate syllable. It has developed the analytic perfect with the auxiliary 'have.' It is also characterised by a system of three kinds of definite articles (as in the examples knigava, meaning "the book near me"; knigata, meaning "the book"; and knigana, meaning "the book over there"), [b]which is one of the number of features that Macedonian and Bulgarian share and that are unique among the Slavic languages.[/b] Other features include the loss of cases, and a large variety of verb tenses. The verb also has witnessed and non-witnessed forms. Like Bulgarian and Serbian, Macedonian has a large number of borrowings from the Turkish language and a significant number from the Greek language. From the Information gleaned above...we can safely conclude by saying this:FYRoM's ex-Yugoslavs are Not the Macedonians they think they are or were told they are. They are Not Macedonians in the Greek sense of the word but Slavic Serbo-Bulgarians, in speech and by genous. [/quote]
