Strumica
The town of Strumica and its surrounding area (including Novo Selo) is the only area from those awarded to the Kingdom of Serbia from Bulgaria following the First World War to be in the Republic of Macedonia. It became a part of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia when Yugoslavia reformed in 1943. Ethnic Bulgarians are still to be found in these municipalities but over the years, the absolute majority of the southernmost territory lost by Bulgaria have declared themselves Macedonian. Bulgarians composed 0.5% of the last census taken in Macedonia and the number of citizens in Bulgaria to have declared themselves Macedonian was somewhat higher both in number and in overall percentage. Strumica (Macedonian/Bulgarian: Струмица, Greek: ΣτÏώμνιτσα Stromnitsa, Turkish: Usturumca) is a city of about 55,000 people in southeastern Republic of Macedonia. ...

One legacy of Strumica once having been a part of Bulgaria is the local dialect. Removed from Standard Macedonian, its own features would make it unique in any case, but the few decades spent within Bulgaria did pass many Bulgarianisms down to each generation. Even though Strumica has already been a part of either Yugoslavia or Macedonia for longer than it was in Bulgaria, the unique language usage has shown little sign of weakening, even by young educated residents or others who identify as Macedonian. Yugoslavia (Jugoslavija in the Latin alphabet, ЈугоÑлавија in Cyrillic; English: South Slavia) describes three political entities that existed one at a time on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe, during most of the 20th century. ...
"One legacy of Strumica once having been a part of Bulgaria is the local dialect. Removed from Standard Macedonian, its own features would make it unique in any case, but the few years spent within Bulgaria did pass many Bulgarianisms down to each generation." Strumica (and its region, which is the subject of this article) was within Bulgaria de facto seven years - since its liberation by the Bulgarian troops in October 1912, during the first Balkan War (until then Strumica and its region, along with entire Macedonia, was within the Ottoman Empire), to the Treaty of Neully in November 1919, and de jure six years - since the Treaty of London in May 1913 (ending the first Balkan War), to the Treaty of Neully in November 1919. To this might be added some three years, 1941-44, under Bulgarian administration.
