Braća Miladinov: razlika između inačica

language of the Macedonian state (ASNOM’s phrase), was the workof a Commission for Language and Orthography, whose recommendations were accepted officially on 3 May 1945. The construction and dissemination of a distinctive Macedonian language was the medium through which a sense of Macedonian identity was to be fixed. The dialects chosen as the norm were far more akin to standard Bulgarian than to Serbian, but that was irrelevant to its political uses as the vehicle for the invention of an entire national tradition, in which (as so often in the Balkans) the question of language dominated. The past was systematically falsified to conceal the fact that many prominent ‘Macedonians’ had supposed themselves to be Bulgarian, and generations of students were taught the pseudo-history of the Macedonian nation. The mass media and education were the key to this process of national acculturation, speaking to people in a language that they came to regard as their Macedonian mothertongue, even if it was perfectly understood in Sofia.</ref> Unatoč toj teoriji Dimitar Miladinov je pisao o "bugarskih pjesama" već u [[1846]] u svojoj korespondenciji s ruskim prof.
