    You're right. Makedonski wasn't around at that time but it's funny you should write that, because Macedonian, the language, and the people, is recorded in the 1400s, 1500s, and 1600s, by non-Macedonians.

    But why let a fact stand in the way.

    This is Greek logic at its best.

    Go figure.

      Oh but there are Macedonian speaking enclaves all over Turkey.
      They in fact feel Macedonian and openly express themselves as such and treat Macedonians who visit there with great respect.
      You should look harder.
      And further, the Pomaks were merely muslim Macedonians. Where did most of the Pomaks go donkey boy?

Therefore, to lump all of these races into the modern Greek identity as being part of a "genus" is ... well ... optimistic. Are the French actually Italians by genus? Can you identify any departure from your logic in this example?

          Re Risto , POMAKS are Macedonian Muslims?????

          It is a well known fact that Pomaks (from pomogach meaning helper) are Bulgarian Muslims.
          The vast majority live in the Rhodopi mts region on the Bulgarian/Greek border.

          You must be thinking of Torbeshi.

          And if you ever find a book or video or link of Macedonian speaking enclaves in Turkey , i would love to see it.
          There are 300,000 Bulgarian speakers in Turkey. Although your language is mutually intelligable to Bulgarian, you dont speak Bulgarian.

            doesnt it strike you as absurd coming on this forum and telling us who we are what langauge we speak etc etc. when did god die and make you lord of humanity. you sound like a very pretensious ignoramus to me. the old axiom of a little knowledaghe is a dangerous thing apllies to most of your posts.

            as for turks speaking macedonian. have you been to instanbul lately, i couldnt get away from turks speaking macedonian and telling me nostalgically how they still missed makedonia

              Yes the Greek government is an authority on such matters.

              They became Romanians last year for the same reason that alot of pure Makedonskis became Bulgarian last year.

              Greece existed before 1830, just ask anyone who is not living in a parallel universe.

              Greece is a multicultural society and has >90% of its population of an ethnicity which is Greek, much to the envy of its neighbours.

              The French are ethnic Gauls, us Greeks call them Gali.

                What are you on about here? same old rambling coming from you and not making much sense. I said you dont speak Bulgarian, why are u getting upset? Your friend said POMAKS are Macedonian Muslims, i assume you agree with is?
                Next time your in Istanbul and you meet a cab driver who speaks Macedonian videotape it for me.
                For you to meet a Turk from the population exchange they would have to be in their graves or 80-90 years old, yet you somehow met them on every corner and couldnt get away from them.
                But you said your village has roots from Epirus, and that your people were Mastori , pote ksehasate tis rizes sas?

                    What if they natural and first language was Turkish?

                      Bulgarian Muslims ... is that what Greece calls them for political purposes? Or is this construct something out of your own stable?
                      Take away the religion and they are Macedonians "by genus" MORE SO than the Asian settlers in Greece who spoke Turkish are Greeks "by genus" .

                        Wow, you are a mental giant.
                        There I was thinking you had some potential mental capacity but no ... parrot poo.

                        Ummm, all of the people who call themselves Greeks nowadays ... called themselves Romioi back in the good old days. Are you saying Greeks or Romioi existed before 1830? Please be clear about this. If they were Romioi, then why not keep a good thing .... many loved this so much they became modern Romanians. Surely you know about the famous Phanariotes that became "class A" Romanians.

                        The Greek government does not even admit to Turks living in Greece ... aren't they the "muslims" that live there?

                        You cannot say anything about Greece's multi-cultures ... a census has never been performed there. Is Greece ready to come clean yet?

                        I give a rat's arse ... but what does Greece call Germans? I would hazard a guess and say whatever King Otto told them to call them ... but historically the Germans came from Frankish tribes ... make my day and tell me you call them Franks.

                              there is no mention of second language, but rather that Turks spoke Greek and "Greek" spoke only Turkish. The text says:

                              Where is the reference to the second language???

                              and than again, on the Photo, it clearly states, that this "Anatolian Greeks" had to learn Greek.

                              To enquire after the impression behind an idea is the way to remove disputes concerning nature and reality.
