We know of the other censuses, the religious ones.
Macedonians are either presented as Bulgarians, Serbs or Greeks.
However, i just saw an article where a former Turkish general ordered to his subordinates to take a look in the Ottoman documents. The evidence is as follows:
Census of Kosovo and Macedonia 1904:
Turks and Islamized Albanians (Arnauts) - 1 508 000
Macedonians (Makedons) - 896 000
Greeks (Yunans) - 307 000
Serbs (Srps) - 100 000
Vlachs (Rumeni) - 99 000
He is the author of the book "Macedonia is not Greece" published in 1993.
Can we obtain more information about this? Most likely those documents are in Arabic, but having the Macedonians as 'Makedons' in the census, will give a serious blow to the Bulgar propaganda.
Here is a link to the article, written in Macedonian:
