Er, that is a bit of a touchy point at present, but no, about 1.5
inhabitants of Macedonia do speak a slavic language known as Macedonian
and quite distinct from Greek - Cryllic alphabet and all.
There are those who claim Macedonia is a "pseudo-country" and still a
provence of Greece; therefore the 'true' language there is (or should
be) Greek.
