History Of The Macedonian Language
Standard Macedonian was adopted as an official language in August 1944 by a provisional government run by the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the National Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) when it declared the formation of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia—a constituent state within the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia—and formal codification was finalized in the same period. Efforts at standardizing the Macedonian language prior to 1944 were unsuccessful on an official level. This date is imprecise; however, Victor Friedman states it was a symbolic act which signified the beginning of a period in which the standard was able to be implemented.
