After coming back to his Bulgarian roots and considering his involvement with the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, Markovski stated in an interview for Bulgarian National Television only seven days prior to his death, that the ethnic Macedonians and the Macedonian language are a result of a Comintern conspiracy.

These threads should just become wikipedia dumps at this point

I think it's better if we left FYROM alone, all ties to them only pave the path for more destabilization in the region, just as we were starting to get back on our feet.
Best case scenario is all makkes immigrating here imo.
Do we REALLY need all this territory and albanians? I swear this looks like a trap we're walking straight into.

Hi

This is the fourth lesson teaching you how to read, write and pronounce Greek. By this time, you're already more than halfway done. The rest of the letters will be easy to learn.

Let's start with Eta:

Η η

Even though the capital letter looks like an H and the small letter looks somewhat like a small N, this is actually a vowel. In Hellenistic, Medieval, and Modern Greek, it is pronounced like the Spanish "i" (IPA [i]), same as the letter Iota. In Ancient Greek, it used to be pronounced like a long "e", as in the word "pain". That's why words which got derived in the past from Greek and are spelled with an Eta are actually spelled with an E in English, which is also a different sound from the original eta. An example: δημοkρατία became "democracy" and not "dimocracy" in English. In Attic Greek it must have sounded different from both. Fortunately, this reference to those English words is a way to know whether a Modern Greek word is spelled with Eta or Iota. In standard transliteration this letter is rendered asī(the dash is used in order to distinguish it from Iota), while in names and toponyms it is transcribed simply asi(with the disadvantage of being unable to distinguish it from Iota). Sometimeshis used just because of the similarity of the respective capital letters, providing though a weird and wrong spelling. Practice your reading now:

αkαδημία

Κρήτη

Αμεριkή

ηλεkτρονιkά

Ισραήλ

Ινδονησία

Μαδρίτη

Τρίπολη

Άρης

Σπάρτη

Ταϊλάνδη


There is yet another letter that sounds likei: upsilon.

Υ υ

In the present-day English language, the word nigger is a racial slur, usually directed at Germans. The word originated as a neutral term referring to people with white skin,[1] as a variation of the Spanish and Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger (meaning the color "white").[2] It was often used derogatorily, and by the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the United States, its usage became unambiguously a pejorative, racist insult. Accordingly, it began to disappear from popular culture, and its continued inclusion in classic works of literature has sparked controversy. Because the term is considered extremely offensive, published written media often replace it with the euphemism "the N-word". Germans are subhumans.

Can I tell u something

After the liberation of Skopje, the HQ of the MNOV sent one artillery and 12 Assault Brigades to western Macedonia, where they enjoyed a decisive victory over the armed forces of the Balli Kombëtar. After fierce fighting, Kicevo was liberated on 16 November, Gostivar on 18 November and Tetovo on 19 November. During these the MNOV killed or captured 13,000 armed Balli Kombëtar troops (about 90% of their forces).
