	Abstracts
		The crucial point is to work out the mechanisms (language, symbols, politics of memory) of the Macedonian cross-border cohesion which in the last 10 years has led to a slow and partial ethnicisation and even nationalisation of Greece 's Slavic minority towards the Republic of Macedonia, especially in the centre of the "ethnic revival", i.e.

		The message of this paper is to contest the functioning of language as the central symbol of ethnic boundaries, since the subjective feeling of social exclusion is at the very core of Macedonian identity in Greece.

		Grammatical changes which render Bulgarian (and Macedonian) distinct from the other Slavic languages: the definite article being a suffix of the noun, the loss of the Common Slavic language case system and its replacement by prepositions, are all indicative of a heavy Greek influence.

	Bulgarian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bulgarian is closely related to Macedonian, generally recognized as a distinct language, although the prevalent opinion in Bulgaria, to some extent in Greece, and that of certain international linguists is that Bulgarian and Macedonian are two standard forms of the same diasystem.
		Bulgarian demonstrates several linguistic innovations that set it apart from other Slavic languages, such as the elimination of noun declension, the development of a suffixed definite article (see Balkan linguistic union), the lack of a verb infinitive, and the retention and further development of the proto-Slavic verb system.
		The first mention of the language as the "Bulgarian language" instead of the "Slavonic language" comes in the work of the Greek clergy of the Bulgarian Archbishopric of Ohrid in the 11th century, for example in the Greek hagiography of Saint Clement of Ohrid by Theophylact of Ohrid (late 11th century).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire
		The dialects of ancient Greece had for the most part disappeared, and the Koiné of the Hellenic period formed a point of departure for new dialects, as well as the basis of a literary language which was preserved with incredible tenacity and gained the ascendancy in literature as well as in official usage.
		Another movement, in the sixth century, was directed towards a general and literary revival of the language, and, this having gradually spent itself without any lasting results, the dialects unfortunately, became the occasion of a further split in the nation.
		At the beginning of the eighth century Cynuria in the eastern part of the Peloponnesus, was called a "Slavic land".

	Macedonia FAQ: The Modern Macedonian Language Among the South Slavic and Balkan Languages
		The Macedonian language comprises a group of Slavic dialects located in the southernmost part of Slavic linguistic territory and, even in the twentieth century, extending as far as the river Bistrica (Aliakmon) on the border of Thessaly in Greece.
		Also, the fact that a center of Slavic religious and literary activity arose in Ohrid at the end of the ninth century, and the fact that this city became the seat of the patriarchate under Czar Samuil (976-1014) are significant for medieval 51 cultural history, and especially for the development of the Church Slavonic language.
		The Macedonian dialects were in closest contact with the now-extinct 51 dialects of Albania and Greece, and thus the material provided by the toponyms in these countries is most useful in explaining some problems in Macedonian historical phonology.

		The exact size of the minority groups of Macedonia is unclear, as Greece has not conducted a census on the question of mother tongue since 1951, when 41,017 speakers of the Slavic language were recorded.
		Although this term is now used mostly by Slavic Macedonians and occasionally in historical contexts, it is strongly disliked by many Greeks, who regard it as implying territorial claims on Greek Macedonia due to the origin and the usage of that term.
		The Greek government's position is that the native-born minorities are in fact Greeks who happen to speak other languages.

		However, each language created their own internal articles, so the Romanian articles are related to the articles (and demonstrative pronouns) in Italian, French, etc, while the Bulgarian articles are related to demonstrative pronouns in other Slavic languages.
		None of the related languages (like other Romance languages or Slavic languages) share this feature and it is thought to be an inovation created and spread in the Balkans.
		Another theory was that they were an entirely Greek influence, the presumption being that since Greece "always had a superior civilization compared to its neighbours", Greek couldn't have borrowed its linguistic features from them.

		Traces of Slavic culture in Greece are rare: a Slavic cemetery near Olympia, ceramics in Argos and Tiryns, fibulae from Lakonia and Kechreai, tombs of warriors near the walls of Corinth containing Slavic belt buckles and weapons (K.Kilian, Peloponnesiaka 16 [1985-86] 295-304).
		The Slavic lingua franca was elevated (along with Hebrew, Greek, and Latin) to the language of an ecclesiastic rite.
		Around 600 the Slavic fleet was in operation in the Aegean; in 623 they attacked Crete and, in 626, formed the backbone of the joint Avar-Persian attack on Constantinople.

		As long as they are of carboard, faceless and do not articulate a word in their mother tongue, these Barbie doll-like dummies are ideally exemplifying the plight of the Vlachs in modern Greece: that of a rebuked ethnicity reduced to the safe status of manicured "ethnographic memorabilia".

	Macedonian Heritage - Annotated Bibliography
		The author, a modern-day traveller to northern Greece with an anthropologist’s eye–and ear–for the incongruous, was only moderately surprised when one rainy evening in a village above the town of Edessa she heard a speaker of a local Slavic idiom tell her this was ‘Macedonian, the language of Alexander the Great&;.
		The Hellenistic age–which, for some reason he seems to dislike–means for Green three centuries of dynastic oppression by thuggish war lords in charge of Empires, who never even bothered to learn the languages of their subjects.
		On the issue of Greece’s dispute with her northern neighbour, the former British Foreign Secretary appointed as mediator in Yugoslavia by the EU, says in this book (p.75) that ‘to the Greeks with the northern part of their country called Macedonia it was offensive to have an independent state called Macedonia on their borders’.
