За македонцките работи

by Крсте Петков Мисирков

Misirkov's most important writing is undoubtedly the book Za makedonckite raboti (On Macedonian Matters) published in 1903 in Sofia, in which he laid down the principles of the modern Macedonian language. According to this book, the Macedonian language should be based on dialects from the central part of Macedonia which are the Veles, Prilep, Bitola and Ohrid dialects. He also used those dialects in the book itself. Most copies of the book were confiscated and destroyed by the Bulgarian police and IMRO activists, shortly after the book was published. At his own time, the book had little or no impact and did not become popular until the middle of the 1940s. Misirkov's principles played a crucial role in the future codification of the Macedonian language, right after World War II.
