Macedonian
What is your problem with the language that is used in his works? That is pure Macedonian. Your argument that there was not Macedonian at his time is not relevant and reliable since the language existed no matter what in BG thought and no matter the codification. I am bringing back that statement since you do not need political act to recognize language. Have you seen such stupid thing? Look at his works, and if you know a bit inguistics you will understand my point. Do not revert obvious things. --MacedonianBoy (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He described himself and the Slavic poulation in Macedonia as Bulgarians. He described their language also as Bulgarian. The scientists of his time made the same. I undestand your point of view to change his identity postfactum, but I disagree. Jingby (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you take a look, I am not trying to change his ethnicity, I do not care about it. But the problem is in you guys, you do not want to accept the fact that his works are in Macedonian. That should not be neglected and the politics should not be mixed up with this statements. --MacedonianBoy (talk) 14:40, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
His works are in the Prilep dialect which he himself described as Bulgarian, and which since 1945 is considered to be a dialect of Macedonian. Anyone unhappy with that? — ToдorBoжinov —15:25, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Scientific nomenclature can be a bitch when it doesn't fit our POVs. A certain dialect does not become something else after its classification is revised. He wrote in Macedonian, but named it something else in accordance with his personal and contemporary views. We do not say the Earth was flat, but since YYYY it has become a spheroid. We also don't mention this historical tidbit every time the shape of the Earth is discussed. --124.150.40.224 (talk) 15:44, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
