Ethnographic map of Macedonia - 2010

[Niko777]

Very good map, but I would say there are more Macedonians in Solun and Halkidiki - these are Macedonians from Lerin and Voden who moved to Solun. For example I come from a village in Lerinsko and we have hundreds of people from my village who moved to Solun to work, live, open a business, and we have many who bought property and summer homes in Halkidiki (most notably the town of Nea Marmara).

Also I would put more Albanians in Lerin and Solun, but these are Albanians who came after the 1990s.

What is your village in Lerin, did i have it on my map Niko777? And Nea Marmara is closer to solun or lower?

[Niko777]

Yes my village is on the map and it is correct (Vrbani). I noticed there are many towns missing on the map in Halkidiki, but that's because these towns were established much later by the prosfyges. Nea Marmara is at the bottom of the middle finger. It's called "New Marmara" because it was founded by prosfyges from Marmara, Turkey. There's also Nea Moudania, Nea Plagia, Nea Kalikratia, Nea Fokea, Nea Flogita... you can get an idea how many new villages were made by the prosfyges.

Niko I am in the midle of making a new larger map for Aegean Macedonia, and i would like to put the informations new some of them for me, for Halkidiki, and other places in Southern Macedonia. I like to put all of the villages and cities with majority or 100% prosfigy because we have to have real information for every place. They (greeks) would like to here some from us, the little people ordinery people, not only the Macedonians also the Vlahs, Arvanites, Turks, Gipsy-Roma, Armenians, Jews, Pontians, Karamanlides, Turkohorio, and origin Greek. In some places there is such a mix between them that is imposibile to draw a line, and there for the troof is only real force for us and for the right of our Macedonians who live there, Its not the point of this maps to separate the population in the Northern Greece in ethnic sides, its not to us to draw the ethnic borders between them. For me its more important in this moment to recognize the Macedonian and other places so the people can be what they are, and not to be persecuted for that. We have there our people Macedonians who have a families in R. Macedonia, and Australia, USA, Kanada, New Zeland, Europe like Poland, Chehia, Russia, Kazakstan Hungary ect who does not now Macedonian linguage and who like to learn it and to now their past, their relatives to be Macedonians in full sence of the meaning.
We have to be wear that they live side by side in the villages with other ethnic groupes, and mix with them they musnt fill against us and our eforts.Thanks for the informations pall !!!, and to all of you!!!! for wearm welcome in the forum
