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.
However, the fact that the Ohrid archbishopric was soon headed exclusively by Greek archbishops, and that Greek was its official language contributed to the spread of Greek cultural and linguistic influence in Macedonia especially during the Turkish period.

The general concepts and goals of the language reforms were similar, but as every language situation was different, so was the understanding of the terminology that described the concepts and goals in each of the programs.
For us today, the greatest difficulty in understanding the language program of the Illyrian Movement has been the lack of precise definitions for the terminology that was used to identify the South Slavs and their language situation.
