It gives a vague overview of every suburb too. According to this, there are only 4 others (apart from my family) that speak Macedonian in my suburb lol.

    Yeah I have looked at it quite a lot its pretty interesting. However seeing the amount of Greek speakers in Australia makes me wanna puke
    No wonder we have not been recognised under the name Macedonia by Australia yet, there is just so many of these Greeks here.

        One thing I am always uncertain of is whether to list the country as Macedonia or Greece, as my family are from Aegean Macedonia: listing it as Macedonia counts towards the Republic of Macedonia whereas listing it as Greece contributes to raising awareness that there exists a large Macedonian community in Australia from what is now internationally seen as northern Greece.
        I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

          List it as Macedonia. It is a homage to your ancestral land and removes the ambiguity that Greek statisticians will take advantage of to manipulate the results.
