Summary/Abstract: The dialects in every language are very important because they are the soul of the language; if they don’t exist, it means that language doesn’t exist either. The South Macedonian dialects represent a part of the other dialects. Their characteristics as the Old Slavic * ??? > a, ă; *r >ap, ăр; *l> ăл, ал, are the proof for the differentiation of Macedonian language from the Old Slavic language and also the proof for the existing Macedonian minority in the region of Aegean part of Macedonia who are still speaking this dialect nowadays.
