      The word Slav/Slavic has become a disease for the Macedonians as it portrays us in a negative light by the Greeks.
      Greeks don't know what Slav/Slavic means, so they should shut the hell up. It's not their business to deal in Slavic affairs, nor is it their business to deal with Macedonian affairs either.

        LOL sorry for the confusion, you are correct Tomas, the Balkans are messed up due to a lot of meddling by foreign powers.

          That is how your ancestors called it in 862 AD.
          Even without going into the origins of the language and if it is indigenous to Macedonia and the Macedonian Peninsula (a.k.a. Balkans), you are aware of how Bulgarians consistently use terminology such as "Old Bulgarian", which more or less is accepted by international scholars and linguists but refuse to apply the same principle and use "Old Macedonian" (which even Slavists such as Lunt have indicated is more applicable than "Old Bulgarian").

          Today we call it OLD Slavonic to distinguish it from modern Slavonic/Slavic languages.
          See above. Macedonic is a more appropriate linguistic designation and, IMO, this is what proud and patriotic Macedonians (though this need not concern you) should use and insist on others to use.

          When this language was brought to Macedonia
          Are you are certain that it was "brought to Macedonia"?

          it was accepted by the Macedonians because there was little difference between Macedonian and Slavic.
          If there was such little difference, how do you now it was not Macedonian that was accepted in the first place"
          The language family cannot be called Macedonic
          It SHOULD BE, it can be and it has been used by some international reputable sources.

          because it wasn't Macedonian that spread throughout Europe,
          You don't know that for certain, do you?

          it was Slavic. In the Middle Ages they didn't speak of a Macedonian language in Germany, they spoke of Slavic (Wendish). They didn't speak of Macedonian in Russia, they spoke of Slavic. They didn't speak of a Macedonian language in the Balkans, they spoke of Slavic.
          That is rather irrelevant and I am sure we can find various other examples of languages being called something other that what they are called today.
          Who were the Slavs then?
          This is a simplistic view of this issue and better transferred to another topic or sub-forum, IMO! Various examples of misnamed nations and peoples, that is who they were/are, in history can be found and the Macedonians being among one of them!

                But just out of curiosity, Indigen, what is your theory on how "Macedonic" languages spread from Macedonia all over Eastern and Central Europe and are now spoken by more than 300 million people? And when did they spread?

                  I'm here to help.
                  I've read (in this forum) that the history of Alexander the Great was written and distorted by Greek idiots and liars a few centuries after his real life. So, maybe he had conquered a bigger and/or different part of the World.
                  (Just a theory).

                        Ibdigen i remember in the early 1990's when professor peter hill was doing some research into macedonian pecalbari in sydney australia & he was interviewing me & my family of how we came to be etc.
                        I said to him afterwards that do you have time to get into a long discussion about something on our identity.He said why not.He was saying he was professor of slavonic studies at hamburg university??Anyway i said you specialise in slavonic studies.I said you take a macedonian who thinks he is macedonian,I said there is so much diservice & destruction that referring to one as slav or slav macedonian.I said look at the people in that are meant to reopresent us are letting us down by the refrence to slavs.We went on discussing the slav history etc even to wards prehistoric references,Finally he caved in & said i was right.I explained to him that the so called illiterate slavic hordes went through greece,bulgaria,turkey,albania,Why do we don't classify them as slavic.He realised that we were letting ourselves down by adopting a whole view of slavianism.Also i mentioned over the years all our enemies have been working on overdrive using smear tactics to destroy us & tell us we are nothing but slavs which is false.After this discussion Peter Hill i'm sure was very well informed on the issue.He just said he never thought about it before like that.I said you just remember to tell the real truth about slavianism & where it stands in relation to macedonians.Also since then over the years i have informed other members in the macedonian community what the effects of the slavianism has really done is to destroy our identity.I did remind people that each side of the occupied territory tried to outdo each other with heavy duty propaganda trying to tell macedonians that they are not related to the ancient macedonians & they should take glory out of being slavs & related to the slavs.Nothing could be further from the truth.
