Summary/Abstract: In contemporary Macedonian there is a significant declension from its original ecclesiastical Slavic language - not only in grammatical structure but also at the lexical, phraseological, syntactical and morphological level. These declensions are results of complex ethnic differences and the coexistence of different nations on Macedonian territory in the pre-Slavic period and are manifested in the loss of the infinitive and the synthetic flection of the cases. As a consequence the grammatical structure of Macedonian has been deslavenized because the languages of non-Slavic nations have probably overruled the transitional phase from synthetism to analythism as the unique tendency in their development.
