Bulgaria insists on denying “Macedonian language”



“There is no point of equality between a language and a literary language. One is a family concept and the other a form (of it). The Bulgarian language includes history and dialects and then the modern literary rule. As for the situation of the so-called literary language of North Macedonia – its history and dialects are Bulgarian.”

This was stated by Anna Kotseva, Associate Professor at the Institute for Bulgarian Language of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, commenting on the recently published pamphlet “The Official Language of the Republic of North Macedonia” on the morning show on BTV’s Novinite news website.

“There is a written regional rule of the Bulgarian language in North Macedonia, which is the result of civil engineering (political machinations) during 1944-45. Since then, we have been talking about the ‘official language’ according to the constitution of North Macedonia. Its wording, whatever it is, does not apply to our constitution,” she said.

According to this period, after World War II, three language committees were formed, the first of which was in fact linguistic and the other two policies, which rejected the directives directly from Belgrade and Moscow.

“The initial attempt, according to Belgrade’s orders, was to accept the Serbian alphabet. It was not accepted,” she continued.

She said the Bulgarian committee had made many concessions.

“We have made many concessions, including the term ‘common history.’ Until 1944-45, we did not have a common history, but there is a history, because there is a political entity, a country, Bulgaria,” said Kotseva, who regularly intervenes in the language issue of North Macedonia, expressing the Bulgarian positions.

Last month, Bulgaria asked Skopje to drop claims that there is a “Macedonian” minority in Bulgaria and to stop claiming the existence of a “Macedonian language,” as reported by Greek City Times.

Although the Macedonian name dispute was resolved between Greece and what we now call North Macedonia with the signing of the Prespa Agreement in 2018, opening the way for the Slavic country to join NATO and the European Union, Bulgaria put these conditions on the neighbouring country before they will green light their accession to the Bloc.

There is no Bulgarian language, the language of Macedonians and Bulgars is a variant of Serbian! Bulgarian is the language of the GAGAUZI PEOPLE!

Interestingly Serbs used Old Bulgarian as their language for centuries yet you made this laughable claim. Ser and BG are totally different languages and always were.

^ no, the language of khan Asparukh was Turk, not Serbian, so try again.

[PAGANE]

The Serbs not only did not create anything, but also used and learned the Bulgarian language. Even the Serbian network Sava decided to die and be buried in Bulgaria.

The language of the first Serboi was Avar, so what? I m talking about the BG Slavic language (Old Church Slavonic renamed by RU/SER), which was "borrowed" by SER for couple of centuries.

[Novi Pazar]

Try again, your Khan Asparukh spoke OLD TURK BULGARIAN, Serbs and their Serbs of Bulgaria spoke, what? Serbian!

The Serbs not only did not create anything, but also used and learned the Bulgarian language. Even the Serbian network Sava decided to die and be buried in Bulgaria.

Why because he went to see the ones west of Iskar (Serbs)

No, because he is Bulgarian. Do you forget who Alba Bulgarika is? Everything west to Alba Bulgarika is Bulgarian and there are Bulgarians. Even the titles of your managers after 11c. - Grand Župan / supreme leader in the multi-tribal society / are Bulgarian. Stefan Nemanja, the father of Saint Sava, was a Grand Župan, that is, a supreme leader in a multi-tribal society, which means that even in the 12th century you are still a collection of different tribes. You can't talk to me about Serbs, but only about vassals of Byzantium and Bulgaria, various Slavic tribes.
Everything east along the vertical line from Belgrade, Pristina and all of northern Macedonia are not Serbs

[Novi Pazar]

^ Alba Bulgarica, yes a Latin name some Turk Khan holds for a year or two. There was animosity between Serbian subjects and their Bulgar Lords, until the point these ruling Turks see their Serb subjects about to overrun them, they ban their own gagauzi language for Serbian and make an agreement for all to be called Bulgar......shameful.

There was never a Byzantium, only ROME.
