First, they are not the figures of Rossos. It is an independent census from the time. The question must be asked why the BFO identifies Macedonian Slavs as the clear majority when the 1911 Encyclopedia does not even mention Macedonians?
The simple answer is that the censuses were politicized.
Either way, Greeks were a very small minority. The question must be asked -- how did Greeks become the majority, and what happened to all the Slavic speakers? Oh, yeah, that's right, they were ethnically cleansed.
Second, Rossos believes in the traditional theory, the Slavic Migration Theory, which many on this forum reject. He believes Slavs migrated to the Balkans, intermixed with the original Balkan people, absorbed them, and forced Slavic on them.
We disagree with Rossos on this point.
