It depends on wether you ask a Serb or a Bulgarian!

Although I didn't know Macedonian was that closely related to Serbian to have identical spelling of the colors.
At least, all the Bulgarians I've met claim Macedonian is just a dialect of Bulgarian...
All Serbs claim it's a dialect of Serbian and all Bulgarians claim it's a dialect of Bulgarian...
Serbian and Bulgarian linguists have been fighting over the issue, and especially before WW2 it did have some pretty heavy political implications: The way of thinking was that if the Macedonians were really speaking Serbian, than they should be a part of Serbia, and if they were speaking Bulgarian, they should be a part of Bulgaria (Greek scientists also entered the fray and claimed, based on folklore studies, that the Macedonians were slavified Greeks, with the same political implications). Thus, this is a mine field! (Just a word of warning.)
English is not my native language, please don't flame me when I make mistakes.

Macedonian is mostly related to Bulgarian, as I understand it.

How odd; we wandered briefly across it earlier, mainly because nothing was on after the Doctor.

After watching most of it I was surprised that Jedward were above average in terms of quality.
