Yes we had Roman refugees when the Roman capitals changed, then we had the germanic Goths, then we had the Bulgars, then we had the Slavs, we had settlers from the Vangarian Guard, we had settlers from Spanish Aargon knights, we had settlers from French knights, we had Venetian & Genoan traders settle there and then Turks and lastly Spanish jews.
...and we are stil here.

"...These various names did not properly catch on, and gradually they began to give way until finally they were replaced by the natural description Slav" with a "Macedonian" reflection from the geographical area in which they were distributed. The people who spoke these dialects had once been called "Slavs" and later either "Serbs" or "Bulgarians" until the rivalry between these two names made them both alien to the Macedonian Slavs, who started calling themselves after the old geographical name of their country. The name Macedonian was first used by the Macedonian Slavs as a geographical term to indicate their origin...."Last edited by Petros Houhoulis; 09-06-2008, 02:06 AM.

The Greek ethnographic maps of that time also refer to Slav Macedonians.

Well done, you have shed some new light.
Now your Greek friends will kill you.
Clearly we disagree about your heritage. What makes you feel you have a Macedonian heritage?
Please define how long MAKEDONAS has been around for. I know I know, you will say 4000 years or something. But we all know that is rubbish. And that the Makedonas dialect of Greek is th purest form of Greek ... you know, learning a new language from a book is always helpful.Risto the Great
