Fundamental issue

Why "Macedonian" but not "North Macedonian" language? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.157.176.194 (talk • contribs)

Because that's its name. Simple as that. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:30, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

The country's name is North Macedonia, so how the language's name should be? --37.157.176.194 (talk) 15:21, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

It's not our job to determine what its name should be. We simply observe what its name is. We do that by looking at what reliable sources call it. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:37, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Inaccurate map

I have literally been to those regions of Greece where "Macedonian" is supposedly Majority language and not one person speaks it. Maybe there are some minority speakers but even then I am not entirely sure. All in all the map is highly inaccurate, in par with more and more articles that evidently promote one or another form of North Macedonian revisionism. Lmagoutas (talk) 11:42, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Which map are you talking about, and where does it say anything about "majority" languages? Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:58, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

I've been in Lerin and they speak it there. I've been in Solun and they speak it there also. Do you know how I know this? Because they are my relatives. 77.28.130.54 (talk) 03:20, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Bulgarians can understand and discuss with North Makedonias in their native language, how does it make it a different language then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.49.247.177 (talk) 16:39, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

"Macedonian language" is actually Bulgarian language. It's literally the same language. 86.49.247.177 (talk) 12:47, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:58, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Word order

The word order in Macedonian is SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) and not SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) as listed in the article. Цили (talk) 21:12, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks. No such user (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Cyrillic alphabet and the language in North Macedonia

Cyrillic alphabet is not Macedonian it is Bulgarian. The information provided in this article is mainly from Soviet, Russian funded or Macedonian sources. This article is not describing the actual origin and history of the "Macedonian" language. The Macedonian language originates from the Bulgarian language. It was made official from the communist during 1944 and the people who did not agreed with this was send to concentration camps. 37.201.116.4 (talk) 14:18, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
