Learn Macedonian Language by Daniela Jankovska TIPS & GUIDE TO: LEARN MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE BY DANIELA JANKOVSKA МАКЕДОНСКИ ЛЕКЦИИ: МАКЕДОНСКИ ЈАЗИК ЗА ПОЧЕТНИЦИ ОД: ДАНИЕЛА ЈАНКОВСКА © Daniela Jankovska [Даниела Јанковска] I am originally from Republic of Macedonia, small eastern European country. I grew up in Kriva Palanka in the located in the Northeast Osogovo Region. I moved to the USA when I was 18 years old to pursue higher education, and since then I have lived and travelled all over the country. I hope that this small guide is helpful to anyone looking to learn a little bit of Macedonian! If you have any questions, you can contact me here. HISTORY OF MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE Macedonian language is a South Slavic language, spoken as a first language by around two million people, principally in the Republic of Macedonia and the Macedonian diaspora, with a smaller number of speakers throughout the transnational region of Macedonia. It is the official language of the Republic of Macedonia and an official minority language in parts of Albania, Romania and Serbia. Ancient Macedonian, an independent Indo-European language of was spoken in at least part of Macedonia in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. and presumably both earlier and later. Although efforts at the creation of a Macedonian literary language date from the nineteenth century, it was not until 2 August 1944 that Macedonian was formally declared the official language of the Republic of Macedonia. The standardization of Literary Macedonian proceeded rapidly after its official recognition, in part because an inter-dialectal koine was already functioning. There are about 23 dialects. There are a number of other online resources for learning Macedonian. Here are a few that I found very helpful: ✴ Victorian School of Languages Macedonian materials (free) ✴ E-textbooks from Macedonia for K-12 (free access) ✴ For the linguists, here are some grammar tutorials (free) and morphology info ✴ University of Toronto Macedonian has a free course (well, the online files are free, but they accompany a textbook is available for purchase from amazon.com) ✴ Macedonian Language E-learning Center offers free resources 1. LESSON 1: THE MACEDONIAN ALPABETH he Macedonian alphabet is a form of the Cyrillic alphabet. It consists of 31 letters and each letter corresponds to a single sound. There are 5 vowels: A, E, I, O, U. The remaining sounds Tare consonants. The stress in the Macedonian language in all one-syllable, two-syllable and three-syllable words falls on the first syllable. In the case when a word has more than three syllables the stress falls on the third syllable from the end of the word (antepenultimate syllable). Italics are used for the transliteration of Macedonian Cyrillic orthography, which is mostly phonemic. The citation form for verbs is the third singular present unless otherwise indicated. Here’s the Macedonian ABC song, enjoy! � Cyrillic: Pronunciation: Example: Meaning: A a a father Авион plane Б б b boy Баба grandmother В в v van Вода water Г г g girl Град town Д д d dog Дрво tree Ѓ ѓ gy argue Ѓердан necklace Е е e pet Елен deer Ж ж zh pleasure Жаба frog З з z zebra Заб tooth S ѕ dz beds Sид wall И и i pizza Игла needle Ј ј y yard Јајце egg К к k skin Капа cap Л л l look Лале tulip Љ љ lj azalea Љубов love М м m moon Мајка mother Н н n nose Нос nose Њ њ ny canyon Диња melon О о o knot Облак cloud П п p spider Прст finger Р р r thrilled Радио radio С с s sun Сабота Saturday Т т t toast Телевизија television Ќ ќ cu cute Ќебе blanket У у u boot Уво ear Cyrillic: Pronunciation: Example: Meaning: Ф ф f football Футбал football Х х h hotel Храна food Ц ц ts cats Цреша cherry Ч ч ch chocolate Чичко uncle Џ џ j jungle Џуџе dwarf Ш ш sh shoe Шише bottle 2 LESSON 2: GREETINGS & FAREWELLS English: Macedonian: Pronunciation: Hello!

  • Language in Croatia: Influenced by Nationalism
    Language in Croatia: Influenced by Nationalism Senior Essay Department of Linguistics, Yale University CatherineM. Dolan Primary Advisor: Prof. Robert D. Greenberg Secondary Advisor: Prof. Dianne Jonas May 1, 2006 Abstract Language and nationalism are closely linked, and this paper examines the relationship between the two. Nationalism is seen to be a powerful force which is capable ofusing language for political purposes, and the field oflinguistics has developed terminology with which the interface oflanguage and nationalism maybe studied. Using this background, the language situation in Croatia may be examined and seen to be complex. Even after thorough evaluation it is difficult to determine how languages and dialects should be delineated in Croatia, but it is certain that nationalism and politics play key roles in promoting the nation's linguistic ideals. 2 , Acknowledgements I suppose I could say that this essay was birthed almost two years ago, when I spent the summer traveling with a group ofstudents throughout Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia in order to study issues ofjustice and reconciliation. Had I never traveled in the region I may have never gained an interest in the people, their history and, yes, their language(s). Even after conducting a rigorous academic study ofthe issues plaguing former Socialist Federal Republic ofYugoslavia, I carry with me the impression that this topic can never be taken entirely into the intellectual realm; I am reminded by my memories that the Balkan conflicts involve people just as real as myself. For this, I thank all those who shared those six weeks oftraveling. That summer gave me new perspectives on many areas oflife.

Morozova Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this article is to study the linguistic evidence of Slavic-Albanian lan- guage contact in the kinship terminology of the Mrkovići, a Muslim Slavic-speaking group in southern Montenegro, and to demonstrate how it refers to the social con- text and the kind of contact situation. The material for this study was collected during fieldwork conducted from 2012 to 2015 in the villages of the Mrkovići area. Kinship terminology of the Mrkovići dialect is compared with that of bcms, Albanian, and the other Balkan languages and dialects. Particular attention is given to the items borrowed from Albanian and Ottoman Turkish, and to the structural borrowing from Albanian. Information presented in the article will be of interest to linguists and anthropologists who investigate kinship terminologies in the world’s languages or do their research in the field of Balkan studies with particular attention to Slavic-Albanian contact and bilingualism.

Most letters have only one sound, making their pronunciation quite simple. The table below shows the letters in abecedario, along with their Spanish name (s), as well as some tips on pronunciation them alone and in combination with other letters. Pronouncing the Spanish alphabet This letter sounds like the sound you use to express the realization in English: this one! This letter often sounds like English b. Especially when it happens between two vowels, it is pronounced with lips without touching, just like the Spanish V. You can also hear it called larga, be grand to be de burro. This letter often sounds like English k. Before e or i, it sounds like s (or th in thick in many parts of Spain.) Although it is not considered a letter anymore RAE, it sounds like a ch in cheese. This letter sounds just like English d, except you have to place the tongue against the upper teeth and not the roof of your mouth when pronouncing it. It often sounds like th in English then, especially when it comes between two vowels. This letter sounds like yes the sound you make when asking for clarification or agreement in English: Eh?
