Maps of Macedonia

[Alexandros]

~80% of the territory of the Former Yugoslav Repiblic of Macedonia is not a part of ancient Macedonia. Only the region of Bitola (Pelagonia) and Gevgeli is a part of ancient Macedonia. Northern and Central F.Y.R.O.M are parts of ancient Dardania and Paeonia.
This is important to know for the Slavic people of F.Y.R.O.M, because in their opinion they are descendants of ancient Macedonians.

The region Blagoevgrad (Pirin-''Macedonia'') was never macedonian.
Cities like Skopje/Shkupi, Tetovo/Tetova, Kumanovo/Kumanova was never macedonian but dardanian and paeonian.

Skopje/Shkupi, Tetovo/Tetova, Kumanovo/Kumanova.

Of course, you imply they had different toponyms at that time right?

What I want to show is that this cities are bilingual (Albanian and Slavic dialects). And that's a fact.

Ethnic majoritys
Skopje/Shkupi

Albanians 103,891 = 20.49%

Kumanovo/Kumanova
Albanians 18,277 = 25.80%

Tetovo/Tetova
Albanians 28,897 = 54.6%

Those old ethnicity maps look pretty dodgy.

Those old ethnicity maps look pretty dodgy.

With minor regional variations, I think they are legit.
