Language overview

Macedonian (македонски, transliterated as makedonski) is an Indo-European language from the Slavic linguistic group, and more precisely from the Eastern South Slavic group. Written in the Cyrillic script, this is the official language of Macedonia. It is also spoken in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia where live ethnic Macedonian minorities. Macedonian is spoken by about 1.4 million people.

Transliteration system: BGN/PCGN

The BGN/BGCN is a virtual committee formed by the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN), which is a United States federal body, and the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names (PCGN), an independent inter-departmental body for the use of the British government. Both are aimed at establishing and maintaining uniform usage of geographic names, and their standards have been agreed upon by both party as a joint adoption.

Macedonian was officially established as a literary language in Yugoslavia during World War II and is now the official language of Macedonia. This romanization system, the BGN/PCGN 2013 agreement, replaces the BGN/PCGN 1981 agreement and adheres to the most widely-accepted standardization of Macedonian orthography.
