A sign in his window announces that Macedonian, the language of Yugoslavia's southermost republic, is spoken. The language is now a requirement for all of his clerks. In the large department stores of Glaoudatos and Dimitriadis, price tags are in both Greek drachmas and Yugoslav dinars. Clerks speaking Macedonian are given preference in hiring. Some shops advertise a 10 per cent discount for the free-spending Yugoslavs.

You are stating that Hellenes have a large Slavic historical component, more than the Republic of Macedonia.
Using language as an identifier, logically Slavic invasions were a small minority and absorbed by the Greek majority of the day.
You are suggesting modern Macedonian people aren't Slavic (or even less so than the modern Greeks), however its blatantly obvious they adopted a South-Slavic language and culture somewhere down the line?
Please don't give me examples of the Irish Celtics and the English, as DNA suggests they are a very similar people.

I am asking for the factual evidence or reputable evidence of the historical time period and the process that enabled this to occur?
