I read portions of this and saved it in my bookmarks to read again later,
but first and foremost I would like to add my two cents about the current
lives of the Arumanians in Macedonia today since I happen to be half, as
does my husband.
We are/were from the declining town of Malovishte, because there is no
work to be done in the mountains other than as shepherds or lumberjacks.
Nothing grows there to be harvested except wild plum trees.
In the 1940's there was a great exodus to Australia. Prior to WWII there
was a school in the village that was taught in Greek (as stated in the
web site and the greeks did in fact not allow Vlah to be spoken in
church,the church that was built in the town was built by greek patrons).
The village was also occupied by Turks prior to the Ilinden uprising.
My mother was taught Macedonian in the school in 1946-50(never
Bulgarian). Today there is no longer a school in the town because there
are not enough young people living there to warrant an expense for a
teacher. Plus after the large exodus to foreign lands there were less and
less Vlachs to intermingle and marry and so the majority of the younger
generation (born 1930 and beyond) started to marry in the town of Bitola
or the neighboring villages that were not Vlah, with "vergers" or
Macedonians (as did my mother and my husband's father) only for the fact
that if they stayed to marry within their neighboring Vlah towns they
would more than likely marry a relative. There is no statewide
assimilation of Vlahs as suggested in the web site. There is a HUGE
number now living in Germany, Australia and Canada however.
