I want to know the answer to the following question:
What do Bulgarian linguists regard the Macedonian language as?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Macedonian, although mutually intelligible with Bulgarian, certain dialects of Serbian and to a lesser extent the rest of the South Slavic dialect continuum, is considered by Bulgarian linguists to be a Bulgarian dialect, in contrast with the contemporary international view and the view in the Republic of Macedonia, which regards it as a language in its own right.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
