[quote2="Nikolaos P. Andriotis"]The Greek (?) linguist Nikolaos Andriotis (1992; 1st edition 1960) published a book about the artificial character of the Macedonian language. After a short historical account of the ancient Macedonians and the presence of Slavs in Macedonia, the book examines the relationships between the Serbian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian languages, concluding that the standardization of the Macedonian language in the post-World War II Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was an artificial construction fabricated "from above" for political purposes.
Andriotis's work has been severely criticized by other linguists. The general consensus is to treat Macedonian as a language and not as a regional dialect (de Bray 1980; Lunt 1984; Friedman 1975; 1985). The reason for the divergence of opinion is that Andriotis's critics believe that "language and dialect are in no way definite quantities" (Lunt 1984:91) and that "the decision as to whether a given transitional South Slav dialect belongs to one or another language is not a linguistic one but a sociopolitical one" (Friedman 1985:36). Given the fact that all South Slav languages are closely connected, it does seem that the task of differentiating a language from a dialect is a political, not a scientific one. In other words, the establishment of the People's Republic of Macedonia constituted a sufficient criterion for considering the local linguistic medium a language (and not, as Bulgarian scholars have suggested, a Bulgarian dialect).
But Andriotis did not follow this criterion. Instead, he considered the creation of the Macedonian republic to be an artificial construction and proceeded to give an interpretation of its language that was highly tainted by his own particular value judgments.
"I am continuing today the part regarding the so-called Skopjan Idiom, of the Federative Republic of Skopia, from the book by the same title by professor of Linguistics in the University of Thessaloniki, Andriotis. My intentions to show the clear evidences of the impact that the Greek language has upon this idiom. The book by Andriotis was written regarding the official language of Skopja. There is something else. The ones of you that are Greeks, read them carefully and then you'll see how easy is to learn, understand and speak the idiom. Especially once you reach the words of the Church. It seems that you are speaking pure Greek. But then attention... they might call you Skopians! Not only this, one can communicate only with the words of Greek origins, there was no need for the Skopians to Develope a language because the language was already in there! The first attemps to differenciate the language did not begin till 1940! And now they are making words from every other language in order to present us with a... "Ma-c-edonian language"! And here are the rest of the words having Greek origins, in the idiom of the Federative State of Skopja."
"This is a laborious task due to the fact that I have to post word by word in all three languages with Latin Characters. In Adriotis book the words were with Skopian-Greek-Latin characters, so I couldn't copy it and paste it. Enjoy the Greek-Makedonian language."
"Slavisation went through a stage of bilingualism during which they spoke both Greek and Slav. That stage enabled them to keep in their new language part of the treasure of vocabulary of their old national tongue.
For the full appreciation of the profound influence of Greek vocabulary on the language of the state of Skopje, it is important to give the reader the commonest Greek words to be foundin the dialect of Skopje in their Slavic and Greek form, divided into grammatical categories. First of all I will give those words whose meaning shows that the Slavs borrowed from the Greeks in the midst of whom they lived without the intercession of the Greek ecclesiastical administration or education and culture.
I will then list the words with which their language was enriched through the Greek language of the Church, the Schools, and the State during the Byzantine era, the Turkish occupation and the modern period."

"And so on.. Next are the foreign words which passed into the Skopje dialect from Greek. Due to the fact that I am getting tired, but above all due to the fact that I believe that I made my point, I am ending the presentation of the words. So? What about the Skopjean Greek language?! Learn to read and think Fyromian!"[/quote2]
