Abstract

In the last decades the model that associates a State with a language has spread in the Balkans, often merging the codification of a standard literary language with the ethnic identity of the nation. Macedonia is defining a new approach to the question of linguistic pluralism. Through some recent legislative changes such as the bill (2018) on the use of languages, now passed into law (2019), and the promotion of international agreements with neighbouring countries like the Agreement on Friendship, Neighbourhood and Cooperation with Bulgaria, and more recently the Prespa agreement with Greece, a new linguistic scenario both within borders and beyond them is taking shape.
