Macedonian translations by professional translators
The Macedonian language
The Macedonian language belongs to the South Slavic language branch of the Indo-European language family. The Macedonian language is closely related to Bulgarian, but is only spoken in Macedonia, a part of former Yugoslavia. Macedonian is part of the Eastern Group of Slavic languages and can be distinguished from other Slavic languages by many features.

Historical background of the Macedonian language
Due to fluctuating similarities with Bulgarian, Macedonian was thought to simply be a Bulgarian dialect which made the road toward a standard and literary language difficult. The rule of the Ottoman Empire significantly influenced the country.
In the 19th century, intellectuals campaigned strongly for the Slavic languages on the Balkan peninsula. During the mid-20th century, Macedonian dialects were used in political writings for the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, as well as for the Partisan Movement, thereby setting the expansion of the Macedonian language in motion.
Instant quoteThe Macedonian alphabet is written using Cyrillic script, which was adopted from the Serbs. This literary language developed in an attempt to differentiate Macedonian from Bulgarian, and as a result, Bulgarian words were dropped from the vocabulary to a great extent.
Vocabulary and grammar
Like many other languages, Macedonian makes use of foreign words and borrowed aspects from other languages. Most of the borrowed terms come from the neighboring countries of Serbia and Turkey. Anglicisms are finding their way into the Macedonian language at an increasing rate, too.
A person’s name has the gender-specific ending of either "-ski" (male) or "-ska" (female), and there are also two forms of the singular “you”: the polite form of “Vi” and the familiar form of “Ti.”
