Slavic speakers are a minority population in the northern Greek region of Macedonia , who are mostly concentrated in certain parts of the peripheries of West and Central Macedonia , adjacent to the territory of the state of North Macedonia . Their dialects are called today "Slavic" in Greece, while generally they are considered Macedonian . Some members have formed their own emigrant communities in neighbouring countries, as well as further abroad.
