I can't see the video so can't comment on that, and for sure I wouldn't be able to comment on the dialect.
As general point I would say that I find it strange that you guys label 'by default' every Slavic speaker as 'Macedonian Macedonian', and never as 'Bulgarian Macedonian'. Stating that is not the same as calling you (West)-Bulgarian. I'm saying, it's impossible to ignore the very significant 'Bulgarian Macedonian' populatian that existed in Greek Makedonia (ex big cities more or less, especially Thessaloniki).
Even if they co-hibited Macedonia with a 'Macedonian Macedonian' population if you want, same as we know that there was a 'Jewish-Macedonian' polulation, not just in Thessaloniki. We Greeks fought them, they fought us, we did some terrible things to them, and they did that to us. The ones we fought identified themselves as Bulgarians and got help from Bulgaria.
What I am accusing you of (not personally ;-)) is the following: Greeks and Bulgarians are bad guys for not accepting you identity as 'Macedonian-Macedonians', a Slavic speaking, though not Slavic population.
But I put it to you that most of you do exactly the same and you confirmed that just now. A Slavic speaker you say unless all the way in Trace you consider per definition NOT 'Bulgarian-Macedonian'. That is apparently an impossibility. A Greek you say is not a Greek even if he identifies himself as such, and the same goes now for Bulgarians so it seems. I can understand the numbers that you claim a bit better now. You incorporated the complete Bulgarian-Macedonian population into yours.
