Best Answer

Historically Macedonia in the ancient and modern Macedonia on the northern Greek peninsula has spoken Greek from ancient until modern times.

The people of the Former Yugoslav Republic call their language "Macedonian" although it is unrelated to the greek dialect spoken by historical Macedonia. The language is a south slavic, bulgarian dialect but was altered and modified to serve the new republic.
Greek like the rest of Greece.
The national language is a Slavic language, a West Bulgarian dialect with a Serbian intonation to be exact, which the people self identify as "Macedonian" although it us unrelated to the Doric Greek of the ancient Macedonians.
The majority language of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is a south Slavic dialect, more precisely a West Bulgarian dialect with a Serbian intonation.

Note***

Although the south Slavic language has been named "Macedonian" by the government of the FYROM, it has nothing in common with the language of the ancient Macedonians who spoke Greek.

Albanian is co-official, along with the South Slavic language, in the municipalities where they are spoken by at least 20% of the municipal population. Therefore, Albanian is co-official in Tetovo, Brvenica, Vrapčište and other municipalities.

Why do some people call FYROM the Republic of Macedonia?

The official name for the newly founded country whose capital is Skopje, is the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" but it is only a temporary name. The country wants its constitutional name to be "the Republic of Macedonia" but that name violates international conventions on the equal rights of the historical Macedonia of Greece, so under the auspices of the UN, the temporary name with the qualifier "Former Yugoslav Republic" was brokered until the FYROM finds a more appropriate name for itself.
