provides defense from Bulgaria’s linguistic negationism

Jasminka Pavlovska of the Macedonian daily newspaper Nova Makedonija reports a finding that attests to the deep and unique roots of the modern Macedonian language. Namely, a textbook primer from the year 1597, printed for the learning of the vocabulary of Old Slavonic, which was the language of the Church and clergy, contains a letter that is unique to the Macedonian language and alphabet. 

The letter which in Macedonian Cyrillic is written as S and pronounced as ‘dz’ has prominent use in the Macedonian language, but it is absent from Serbian and Bulgarian. Macedonian activists who have been arguing at scientific conferences and online to repel the persistent Bulgarian attacks on the Macedonian language, have offered the letter S – Dz as one of the characteristics about the separate geographic and ethnic development of the Macedonian language and its vocabulary. 

Interestingly enough, the letter Dz is prominent in words that are almost exclusive to Macedonian. The characteristic sound of this letter can be heard in words like dzvezda – ѕвезда (star), dzunitsa – ѕуница (rainbow), obdzira – обѕира (observe), lundza – лунѕда (to roam), dzun – ѕун (ringing sound), dzvono – ѕвоно (bell), dzid – ѕид (wall), dzrndzurka – ѕрнѕурка (trinket, part of the traditional costume), dzumba – ѕумба (sound), and many other.

Is this propaganda tbh? 

Jfl I'm pretty sure that Serbian and Bulgarian also have 'dz' sound but just don't have a letter for it

Also I can only name like 10 words that have the 'S' letter in it, yet it makes up 1 of the 31 letters of alphabet. Pretty bizarre to have a letter for a phoneme that is so rare. I am pretty sure they added this letter in the alphabet in in the 1940s during standardization process to separate the language further from Bulgarian and Serbian

What's the minimum IQ required to be able to pronounce dzrndzurka – ѕрнѕурка ? @"contributing_autist" @kathisterima

no idea, could be true, or not

Balkan ultranationalist pseudo-scholars go hard on the linguistic theories
