Exactly 80 years ago on May 5, 1945, with the decision of the People’s Government of Federal Macedonia, the alphabet of the Macedonian language was adopted, and on June 7 of the same year the Ministry of Education legalized the first spelling of the Macedonian language.
Then are the founder works of the Great of the Macedonian Language and Science of Language, Blaze Koneski: Grammar of the Macedonian Language, Dictionary of the Macedonian Language and History of the Macedonian Language, thus rounding the codification of the Macedonian language.
Creating the Macedonian state, ASNOM also emphasized the existence of the Macedonian language as a key element of the existence of the Macedonian nation.
The development of today’s Macedonian alphabet dates back to the appearance of the Glagolitic and then with the replacement of the Glagolitic with Cyrillic and with the gradual development and improvement of the vocal graphic system.
The Government of the Republic of Northern Macedonia in 2019 decided that May 5 be declared a day of the Macedonian language.
