"I don't think the Macedonian language is "so-called".
Macedonian language exists.
Macedonian people exist.
You know, we teach Macedonian at the Foreign Service Institute. We teach Serbian, we teach Croatian, now we teach Bosnian. All languages are human creations and they develop over time and become codified.
There is a Macedonian language", said U.S. Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Daniel Fried.( 10/04/2008 )

"Yes, Macedonian culture and history are quite separate from Bulgarian and Serbian culture and history; they have never been the object of an impartial and detailed study. The Serbs and the Bulgarians most unfairly took from Macedonian culture only what they could make use of for the glory of their own national names; ignoring facts of capital importance either because they did not concern them, or because they contradicted their own national aspirations. Unfortunately, the Macedonians themselves are only now beginning to study Macedonian history, having realized, towards the end of last century, that they could no longer trust the historians of Belgrade or Sofia..." Krste Petkov Misirkov ( 1874-1926 )

"I am not Bulgarian, nor Greek, nor Tzintzar, I am pure Macedonian as were Philip and Alexander the Macedonian and Aristotle Philosopher." Gjorgi Pulevski ( 1838-1895 )
