Link below is of our Serbian Orthodox Church that my villagers/diaspora built in the Detroit area in 2005. If it was 1 person from our village saying they're 'Serb' then I'd understand comments like 'wannabe' or 'Srboman', but its not that way. Instead its a diaspora of over 3000 people who speak torlakian/vardarian dialect and respect their roots. Note: I'm not a Serb because I want to be but because that's who those before me were. Bulgarians are good people; I've met many in the Chicago area and they're very hardworking and humble people. www.saintpetka.org/

For those not privy of the terminology, "Vardar" or Vardarska" correctly identifies to Vardar Banovina or Vardarska Banovina. This was a province within the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between 1929 and 1941. This province encompasses the whole of the Republic of Macedonia today.
When "Vardarska" or "Vardar" is used today, it is in reference to the Republic of Macedonia. When "Vardarians" is used, it is in reference to the people of the Republic of Macedonia.

the church is nice. too bad its in detroit ;D on a minor note, byzantine orthodox churchs are absolutely wonderful buildings. I think they are by far the prettiest churches, no disrespect to catholic ones, but they seem very gloomy and draconian. Orthodox churches give off a positive feeling for me. maybe its because I' m serbian. I am not even religious, I grew up in a communist family, but I still admire the churches. I do go to church when my aunt makes me. But its a church in Novi Sad, called Almaska (i think), and it is built more like a catholic one than an orthodox.
