Greece imposed term Bulgarians, Bulgarian language as a synonym for Slavic and Slavic language from the late 18th century
From 1767 yr. Ohrid Archbishopric was overturned on appeals to the Greeks and Macedonia falls under the jurisdiction of the Constantinople Patriarchate, fully controlled by the Greek and grkofilski clergy. At that time, the Patriarchate opened Greek schools in Macedonia, the Greek language. Greek teachers have imposed term Bulgarians, Bulgarian language as a synonym for Slavic and Slavic languages. Otherwise, before that, in Macedonia NEVER used the word as a synonym for the Bulgarian Slavs and there is no written over 18 centuries where someone Macedonians declared themselves Bulgarian, or their language called Bulgarian.
Serbian scholar, Peter Dragashevikj, late 19th century was in Thessaly and Greece, said: "The Greeks call me Bulgarians, although I am a Serb from Serbia ... the word Slav Bulgarian means" (Petar Dragasevic "Makedonski Sloveni", 1890 g ., Beograd). Serbian propagandist, Cvijic, fighter for srbizacija Macedonians, was among the Aegean Macedonians in Greece, so his impressions, he wrote: "grkiot peasant's called Macedonian Slavs, Bulgarians always ... in the Greeks, the name means the same as Bulgarian and Slav. Greeks called Bulgarians and Serbs, if you know you are from Serbia ... Serbian name for the Greek peasant is only political idea ... and a Bulgarian ethnographic notion ... poluheleniziranite Macedonian Slavs-Chifchii, pkmalku speak Greek, itself considered the Greeks " (Professor John Cvijiћ (1865-1927), Radha "Macedonian Slavs promatranja o etnografiji makedonskih Slavs" Bookshops Gece Kona, Belgrade 1906th year.). DR. John Cvijic known Serbian etnogeograf and academician, the Serbian government has sent in Macedonia in 1905 golemosrpski and government interests has written that the Macedonians are amorphous mass without national consciousness and literary language, which had sympathy towards the Serbs and the Bulgarians, and could easily be assimilated or Serbs or Bulgarians. But that same Cvijic later testify that when he was in Macedonia, the Macedonians had developed a Macedonian national consciousness and denies himself and says, "little people by the people, peasants, know only that they are Macedonians" (Svetozar Pribicevic: "Diktatura kralja Aleksandra" , 5. poglavlje, str.128).
