Hahaha, nothing is too sophisticated for the macedonian linguistic, you'll get more and more surprised. Get used to!

The other letters that are not used in Bulgarian are borrowed from Serbian. Are you able to answer my question on the pronunciation of ѓ (g with a line on the top)?

They ponounce it as soft
g ~
gj . In that case the word is pronounced as
[: lugje ]

This occurs in the Macedonian word for people, ie луѓе. But the text of the book shows that this letter is either a palatalised g or a palatised d. In other words, you either pronounce it as the Russians would pronounce a word written "луге" or like "луде"; in the second case it would sound like the Russian word "люди".

Exactly. In bulgarian it is pronounced as
ljude, hence in macedonian it has to be different -
lugje. Politics requires such articulatory perversions.
