Help[Surname] Re: Surname in my family, where does it come from???
in reply to a message by YesIAm
First I've heard of this. I know that nationalistic Greeks like to pretend that there is no such country as Macedonia. I do know that the Greek state forced their Macedonian minority to adopt Greek or Greek looking names (i.e., Yankoulas for Jankovski), but I did not know that Greece's Macedonian minority was losing its language. I have heard Greek seamen speaking a Slavic language which I assumed was Macedonian.
