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)
