Macedonian Language
Macedonian Language overview
Macedonian is the official language of North Macedonia and belongs to the Eastern branch of the South Slavic languages within the Slavic language family. Besides North Macedonia, Macedonian is also used in countries like Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia, and among Macedonian communities in Western Europe, North America, and Australia. Early forms of Macedonian were foundational dialects of Church Slavonic, with a grammar closely resembling Bulgarian, and it was initially considered a dialect of Bulgarian. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that Macedonian formed its standardized language.
The origins of Macedonian trace back to Old Slavic and, after undergoing prolonged influences from non-Slavic languages, it gradually diverged from Old Slavic, evolving into an analytical language unlike most other Slavic languages which are still synthetic. By the early 19th century, a modern Macedonian standard language based on western dialects began to take shape. The modern Macedonian language used today is distinct from Ancient Macedonian and has no direct relationship with Greek culture or the Greek language.
In 1945, the Macedonian alphabet was established, using a modified Cyrillic script derived from Serbian Cyrillic, and adopting a phonetic orthography with a total of 31 letters. Although the number of phonemes matches the number of letters, the principle of one sound per letter is not strictly followed as in Serbian.
Macedonian dialects are categorized into Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern dialects, with the standard language based on Western dialects. Due to linguistic evolution over the years, Macedonian has undergone changes, but it remains widely used not only in North Macedonia but also by many people in other countries.
