Daskale,

Check it... I think it's useful explanation:

Не е баш по темата, но бидејќи се однесува до македонската емиграција го постирам овде, за да не отварам нова тема.




Тоа е писмо од градоначалникот на Торонто до македонската заедница во градот во 1938 година, која не дозволила да биде истакнато бугарското знаме на нивната црква. Во писмото јасно е потврден идентитетот на македонскиот народ и мислам ќе биде добро да се презентира на страницата со документите.

Thanks for the source Daskalot.

Artemi, good question. Balto-Slavic does have some very old words that are connected to Germanic languages which may come from either a common source, interaction during the PIE period, or as a loan from one to the other.

a little bit off-topic, sorry. but there is one thing i have been wondering about the scandinavic-german languages. they also use the "sk" as a grammatical ending for like "dansk".. "norsk".. "polsk" - same like in slavic languages. (except the additional "i" that we use).

Macedonians noted in a study on immigration to the Swedish city of Malmoe, 1973!

I found a very interesting book by accident when I was searching for material concerning us Macedonians in an old bookshop in Stockholm, Sweden.
The book is a research study on the immigration to the Swedish city of Malmö(Malmoe) and it was published in 1973.
We Macedonians are noted both by language and by ethnicity in the book.
Here are some examples, I will publish more later.

1) The basic documentation for this table has been provided by deputy principal Elisabet Einarsson at Malmö City schools. The scores in the table means that the students teacher has judged the student's proficiency in Swedish in the following manner:
1. Beginner in Swedish
2. Speaks and understands some
3. Manages passably - can make oneself understood but have difficulty expressing themselves correctly, understands simple everyday language
4. Speaks Swedish spontaneously, but have limited vocabulary and limited conceptual understanding
5. Masters Swedish as an average Swedish student

Enjoy!

That would be a good idea Bratot. In fact, even better would be a more comprehensive collection that includes Macedonian military participation in the last couple of centuries that are specific to events, such as the Austro-Turkish wars, Russo-Turkish wars, Balkan Wars, WWI, WWII, etc.

MACEDONIAN & BULGARIAN GRAVESTONES
IN TORONTO NECROPOLIS & CREMATORIUM

CHARLES DOBIE : LOCAL HISTORY
TORONTO, ONTARIO


What i want people to take note, is the dates of Birth and dates of Death.
They were all around the end of 19 century to the begining of the 20th century. Its a shame for Greeks the inscriptions were not altered on these stones.

Another thing to notice is the place of birth. I can't see Greece anywhere.
