 The question of whether the Republic of Macedonia (or Former Yugoslav, etc.) should be called the Repebulic of Macedonia is not a factor in this language/dialect debate. The name of the country could be the Republic of Atlantis and it wouldn't impact the language/dialect debate. The reason I refer to the republic as FYROM is because I disagree with the 'Republic of Macedonia' name: the modern country contains only part of Macedonia: it does not contain the core parts of Macedonia (which were further south). Most of the modern nation was once the Kingdom of Paionia: and when Paionia was conquered by Macedon, this land would be more accurately ""the Paionian province of Macedon"" (remember, the Macedonians when they conquered Paionia didn't slaughter the inhabitants, so the population of the Paionian province of Macedon was more Paionian that Macedonian). No POV rules are violated because 1) it's on a Talk Page; 2) it's not an issue in the debate/article.  "
