Macedonian language and dialects

[ioan assen]

Novi, before posting serbian propaganda I propose you use google translator. When you claim we never use U you have to face the consequences when you are exposed as serbian propagandist and liar.
Shopi are bulgarized. So you can bulgarize a Bulgarian. Example that Serbian propaganda is more than stupid. Thats why only children (and Novi) believe in it.

[Novi Pazar]

I provide you a source, you don't debate it but attack me. This isn't Serbian propaganda, l'm stating it as it is, once more:

The preposition (and prefix) "у" ("u") is used instead of "в" ("v"). Example: Shopski у градо (u grado) vs standard Bulgarian в града (v grada) (in town)

The personal pronouns for the third person are masc. on (он), fem. ona (она); neut. ono (оно), pl. oni (они).

The personal pronoun for the first person singular is ja (я) instead of az (аз).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shopi

So why do the Bulgarianised Serbs known as Shopi say the English word (IN) as U but not in Bulgarian fashion V?

[Vojnik]

Novi Pazar, to me the Shop dialect seems to be a even cross between standard Serbian, Bulgarian and Macedonian. the switch between 'v' to 'u' does not make it a Serbian dialect.

U think I need source TO KNOW MY MOTHER LANGUAGE??? How old are you? 10. Any Bulgarian would tell u we use U just like V. Go read your USELESS PROPAGANDA "sources".

I understand you brate, l agree that language should not be used as a reason to link people (ethnicities) to a certain nation, its culture, migration and history. In the Balkans, slavic has become many dialects from a mother of all. However, what l'm doing here is being a counter-weight to ridiculous claims being made by Bulgarians.

Get the Bulgarians to explain why Torlakian/Shopi use On, Ona, Oni not Toj, Tya, Toe etc....

So the Serbo-Croatian *U* is Bulgarian, you are deludued Ioan! Serbo-Croats don't use V nor do Torlakian/Shopi say MlYAko but MlEko.

Well that's fair enough. In Macedonian we use... mas: Toj, Onaj. fem: Taa, Ona. And we also use Oni.

We say ''On'' in Skopje.. ''Onaj'' is used in Western Macedonian dialects.

Macedonian empire
nice one

Do you have proof that there are Russians in Moscow?
That there is a mosque in Mecca?

why do u laugh? Alexander's empire was called "Macedonian empire" all until englishmen J. G. Droysen in mid 19th century dubbed it to be called hellenistic

This is just a thread showing information on the Macedonian language and dialects. I will start off with maps.

This map shows the distribution of the Macedonian dialects within Macedonia

So someone from Bitola speaks like someone from Skopje? Interesting......
