Do you know that Vasil Zlatarski lived like a century ago? He was born in 1866 and died in 1935. He's the so called "Grandfather of the Turkic theory", which today only about 10% of the Bulgarian historians and scientists still support. So brings yourself up-to-speed please, and look at the recent research done in the past 30 years.
And what if there were Bulgarians in China? Today there are 200,000 Macedonians in Australia - does that makes them Aborigines?Last edited by Razer; 05-28-2012, 03:40 PM.

Originally posted by Razer View PostWhat you're saying simply has no valid historical ground. By the 6th century the ancient Macedonians were already a tiny minority, far outnumbered by the Slavsc, Bulgars are others. And also, you seem to forget that the alphabet we know today as Cyrillic is very different from what Cyril and Methody created.
I agree that modern Cyrillic did indeed share from previous cultures most notably ancient Phoenician. I have no desire to stand in the way of progress but still adhere to my belief that the direction of learning came from Macedonia TO Bulgaria.

Originally posted by DraganOfStip View PostRisto,i was only referring to your words,Macedonian (the Slavic dialect of the time) was not the original language of the Macedonians of those days.The native language of the Macedonians was the Ancient Macedonian language.Then,the events that followed changed that,and they eventually accepted the Slavic language of the newcomers.Slavs assimilated many people back then,basically all the native people that lived south of the Danube and all the way to Salonika were assimilated and accepted Slavic culture and language,including other newcomers like the turko-mongoloid Bulgars.
I see no reason for a Macedonian (aside from Gligorov) to propagate such assumptions without questioning the logic of them.
I believe the ancient Macedonian language has been influenced since time immemorial. But I also believe the ancient Macedonian language must have already had traits or similarities with others in the region long before any suggestions of mass migration.
You may have seen the MTO thread that showed the Macedonian language documented in the 16th century in a village in Kostur. The words seem impossibly the same as modern Macedonian! If it can remain untarnished for 500 years, why not another 500 or 1000 or 1500 years? If Macedonians are not going to defend their legacy, nobody else will.Risto the Great

Re: Ancient Macedonians
Henry Noel Brailsford was a British journalist who visited Macedonia in 1903 and here is what he wrote:
Of the races which inhabit Macedonia to-day only the Albanians have any claim to be autochthonous. Their southern branch, the Tosks, are most likely the lineal descendants of the ancient Epirotes, Their northern branch, the Ghegs, are probably the people whom the ancients called lUyrians. Of the ancient Macedonians whose original seat lay between Monastir and Vodena, no heirs remain, unless indeed any remnants of them escaped civilisation and became confounded with the kindred Albanians. The Thracians may possibly survive in the modern Vlachs, at least in so far as they became absorbed by Roman colonies. All these original races, though doubtless near cousins of the Greeks, must have been very imperfectly Hellenised during the classical and Macedonian periods. The Greek colonies were never much more than trading centres along the coast, and what was Greek in ancient times is Greek to-day. There is no evidence tliat the interior was ever settled by a rural Greek population.Last edited by Razer; 05-28-2012, 08:04 PM.

Razer, do you believe the following from Brailsford:
Of the races which inhabit Macedonia to-day only the Albanians have any claim to be autochthonous. Their southern branch, the Tosks, are most likely the lineal descendants of the ancient Epirotes, Their northern branch, the Ghegs, are probably the people whom the ancients called lUyrians.

The Greek colonies were never much more than trading centres along the coast, and what was Greek in ancient times is Greek to-day.

I actually have too much material and don't know where to start from...And it's 4 am here in Sofia so I think I'll go to bed and post some more stuff later. But do I agree with Brailsford? There's no way to know for sure, the only way I shape up an opinion is by cross-referencing sources and placing them on top of factual historical evidence.

Just something I forgot to say about the so called "quote" by Gotse Delchev... Apparently he said something like " He, who works for the unification of Macedonia to Greece, Bulgaria or Serbia, can think of himself as a great Greek, Bulgarian or Serbian but not as a Macedonian". I have seen this quote posted few times in this forum. But here's the truth about it. Yes - Gotse Delchev said those words, but in a fictional book called "Ilinden" written in 1953 by the Bulgarian author Dimitar Talev, born in Prilep. Here is the original extract from the book (the only difference is that "Serbia" has been added):
And here is the full book in PDF format.Last edited by Razer; 05-28-2012, 08:20 PM.

Why do you call him Bulgarian?
Other writers have suggested Talev was quoting Delcev.
