  Yes, it does. The people in question were around for quite a while and
know more about the issue.

: > 2) The speakers of the language (in Greece) call it ‘local’ not Macedonian.

: Really? Is that "LOCAL" language the same as the LOCAL language in, say,
: Athens? Or they don’t have a language named "LOCAL" there?

  Of course not ! Athenians speak Greek, not Bulgarian.

: Well, few have YET to declare themselves as "Slavs" in order for the

  No, I did not. That’s the Bulgarians that speak the local Bulgarian dialect.
You are one of them.

: You also left out the MACEDONIAN language, Mr. Savopulos, and the dialects

  See above.

Since you are not a linguist, I guess, it must be
because you are actually a ROCK, that you believe
that you can dictate upon "what is and what isn’t"
my right. ;^)
