Introduction / History

The Macedonians are a southern Slavic people and speak the Macedonian language which is a part of the South Slavic group of languages. The modern Macedonians developed as a result of the mixing of the Slavs that came on the Balkans in 6th AD century, with local peoples that were living in North Macedonia prior to their coming. By absorbing the peoples living in North Macedonia, the Slavs also absorbed their culture, and in that amalgamation a people was gradually formed with predominantly Slavic ethnic elements, speaking a Slavic language and with a Slavic-Byzantine culture.

The majority of the Macedonians live in North Macedonia, but there are substantial Macedonian minorities in the neighboring countries including Croatia.
