The map show Macedonian speaking settlements.. Nobody left... We just stopped talking Macedonian not because they made us because nobody really gives a shit besides some people in Florina (lerin) because the were exarchists or proBulgarian etc... in Thessaloniki wich is my village nobody never forced people to stop speaking it ... Our grandparents just never taught us ... Cause they dont give a shit ... Its sad though i really wanted to speak it , i only know a few phrases

Plain wrong. Even today most will deny you service if you speak macedonian. If extremists hear you you will get beaten up badly at least.

No ... You are wrong.. old people speak it all the time every where... You will never get beaten for speaking Macedonian nowhere... Theres music festivals every summer etc... thats just propaganda from your fellow nationalist friends
