Macedonism (Macedonian: Македонизам, Bulgarian: Македонизъм) is a term to describe the official opinion in the Republic of Macedonia about the non-Bulgarian origin of the Macedonians and non-Bulgarian origin of the Macedonian language. According to it, the following are some of the major claims of the Macedonism supporters:

  1. The inhabitants of the contemporary region of Macedonia constitute a separate ethnic group (independent of their self-determination). A typical Macedonistic statement would be: "Those people live in Macedonia, therefore they are ethnic Macedonians".
  2. The inhabitants of the Republic of Macedonia are largely the descendents of the Ancient Macedonians
  3. There existed a distinct Macedonian national consciousness in the Middle Ages, culminating with the rule of Tsar Samuil and his Macedonian kingdom.
  4. There are large oppressed ethnic Macedonian minorities in the region of Macedonia, located in neighboring Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia.
