[edit] Linguistic issue
The last part (southern dialects forbiden) is in some way true but does not need to be placed on this page. It is evident to anyone that the non-existence of a Macedonian republic during the interwar period, as say for the Bosniaks/Muslims (with Bosnia), will have meant that the local people will have been something else (in this case, Serbs). However, the relationship between any two South Slavic nations is down to extention and not distance (ie.Venetians to Croats/Slovenes are nations by distance; Croats to Slovenes, extention), based on this cultural/linguistic/ethnic prolonged proximity. It means that a Macedonian forced into becoming Serbian is not a complete transformation; but to become Greek or Albanian is total surrended of identity. For this reason, it is not good to accuse earlier Serbian authorities of Serbianising other Slav groups. Evlekis 12:27, 9 October 2006 (UTC) Евлекис
[edit] sources?
There are no sources given that use this term, so it seems to be a neologism. Can someone please find sources for this article? Thank you. // Laughing Man 22:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map
First, Panonian I must remind you of your words about culture and monasteries. What you mean these leveled churches did not belong to the culture of the region? And they forcible disappearing is a part of a forcible cultural changing namely Serbianisation. Please show me just one Orthodox church in Vojvodina which was razed by COMMUNISTS. --Bendeguz 22:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- AFAIC, the Serbian Orthodox Church is the religious organization that suffered the most during the existence of Communist Yugoslavia (I can't claim for Vojvodina precisely, since I do not know much 'bout it). However, I must agree with PANONIAN - it doesn't have much to do with cultural assimilation at all. You're forgetting that this article deals with cultural assimilation of non-Serbs into Serbs. For example, the SOC monastery of Krupa was ransacked by Croatian paramilitaries during Operation Storm in 1995, however that is no way "Croatization". --PaxEquilibrium 22:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, PaxEquilibrium explained this and I do not think there is something else that could be said. Before posting that map here, Bendeguz, you have to prove that aim of the communists was Serbianization and not secularization. Communists in general were enemies of the religion, hence it is the reason why they razed those churches, not to make area more Serbian, but to make it more atheist. Article Religion in Vojvodina is the good place where such map could be posted. PANONIAN (talk) 00:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
