Macedonia FAQ: Veles (933 words)
Veles is mentioned in the diaries of the travelers as a town situated on the both sides of river Vardar, which is the image it sill caries.
Together with the Macedonian dialect spoken in Prilep, the Veles dialect is part of the central Macedonian dialects that comprise the basis for the modern standard/literaty Macedonian language.
