Greek newspaper acknowledges the Macedonian language, 1905!

Translation into English :

Friday 8 July 1905. << A few months ago it was announced in Monastiri* by the Macedonian Organization Committee, that it undertook a project to publish a Macedonian Grammar. The committee consists of seven professors of linguistics. As base for this grammar will be the dialect spoken in the Vilayet of Monastiri*. This dialect has already been proclaimed by the committee as the Macedonian language. The teachers of the Slavic schools in Macedonia are ordered to teach this language instead of the Serbian or Bulgarian and through this to put in place a base for the creation of an independent Macedonia. In the future textbooks and other books will be printed in this Macedonian language, soon after it is thought by the Organization to prohibit the use of the Serbian and Bulgarian languages [SKRIP, 8/7/1905, p. 1.]
