Macedonian's closest relative is Bulgarian, with which it has a high degree of mutual intelligibility. The next closest relative is Serbo-Croatian. Language contact between Macedonian and Serbo-Croatian reached its height during Yugoslav times, when most Macedonians learned Serbo-Croatian as a compulsory language of education and knew and used Serbian (or "pseudo-Serbian", i.e. a mixture of Serbian and Macedonian)."<br /><br />That is, this is yet another example of the ongoing, endemic sin of nationalism. (In addition to Qatar/Antioch/Jerusalem, the Orthodox bishops in Canada wouldn't even sit down in the same Episcopal Assembly as the Orthodox bishops in America because of how different Canada and Canadian Orthodox is from the U.S. and American Orthodoxy - when most of them on both sides of the border report up to the same overseas mother churches!
