Είναι ψέμα το ότι κανένας δεν διαβάζει το blog της Χ.Α. Εγώ το διαβάζω καμία φορά, όχι γιατί συμφωνώ με τα πιστεύω τους, ούτε για να πάρω αντικειμενική ενημέρωση. Πολλές φορές γελάω κάποιες άλλες θέλω να μάθω αν ισχύει έστω και ένα από αυτά που λένε.
Διάβασα λοιπόν πρόσφατα άρθρο της ΧΑ σχετικά με το Μακεδονικό στο οποίο δινόταν και ένα link για το bbc το οποίο ανέφερε την ύπαρξη Μακεδονικής μειονότητας καθώς και Μακεδονικής γλώσσας. Ένοιωσα την ανάγκη να στείλω ένα email στο bbc για να μάθω τι ακριβώς γνωρίζουν γιατί από ότι ξέρω εγώ δεν υπάρχει μακεδονική γλώσσα, ούτε μακεδονική μειονότητα. Ξέρω ότι υπάρχει Σλαβική γλώσσα και (ίσως υπάρχει) Σλαβική μειονότητα( η οποία αν υπάρχει πρέπει να είναι πολύ μειονότητα καθώς δεν έχω γνωρίσει ποτέ κανέναν) Η απάντηση του BBC δεν με ικανοποίησε.
Ολόκληρη η απάντηση.
Dear Evangelos
Thank you for your email and your comments. We have spoken to the Greek
Embassy in London and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens and here
is their explanation:
* Slavic oral idioms have a lot of similarities to the languages of
FYROM and Bulgaria, and are used by a small number of persons who live
in the northern Greek province of Macedonia. Their definition as idioms
is more accurate scientifically, since, apart from not qualifying as a
full-fledged language, the differentiations among them from one region
of Macedonia (Greece) to another do not permit us to classify them as
one.
* A traditional method which has been employed on various occasions by
certain Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians and international observers would
add to the respective Macedonian versions an appropriate prefix:
Slav-Macedonian/s, Greek-Macedonian/s, Bulgarian- Macedonian/s,
Albanian-Macedonian/s, etc.
* In what concerns the language of FYROM, it is called “makedonski” by
its Slav-Macedonian citizens and thus should more accurately be
translated to “slav-macedonian language”. The term “slav-macedonian
language” is both more accurate scientifically, since this language
forms part of the Slavic group of languages, and more politically
correct, since it does not imply the monopolization of the term
“macedonian” by one sole contestant.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
The Languages Team
The name “New Macedonia” is the most fair posibility. It does not support the ideas of the Skopian government related to the historical past of that state and at the same time covers the need of the population of this new state to have an identity corresponding to their past and life. In a few words “Macedonia” yes, but a “New” one.
^^^ I agree with you. I would also give a chance to a name like Uper Macedonia or something like that.
If nothing works i think we should use the veto option.
