This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Bulgaro-macedonian-dialect-continuum.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description	English: The map shows the areas where dialects of the Bulgaro-Macedonian dialect continuum are spoken: by a plurality of native speakers by a minority . Bulgarian and Macedonian, which together comprise the Eastern group of Southern Slavic, share a number of characteristics that set them apart from all other Slavic languages - such as the lack of cases, the post-fix article, lack of infinitive, formation of comparative forms of adjectives with the prefix po-, and the existence of preizkazno naklonenie (преизказно наклонение), a verb tense used to convey information about events which the speaker didn't witness. On a local level there is no sharp boundary between Bulgarian and Macedonian dialects and the question whether Bulgarian and Macedonian are distinct languages or dialects of a single language cannot be resolved on a purely linguistic basis (see e.g. Chambers and Trudgill, Dialectology, Cambridge University Press (1998) or David Crystal. The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language, 2nd ed. (2010)).
