Don't worry I come in peace D
I just saw your discussion with INkubusse about our special letter Ѓ. You said it sounded kind of like a D. That may be because your Macedonian colleagues are from Prilep. In their accent/dialect, Gj (Ѓ) and Kj (Ќ) are pronounced Đ or Dj (Ђ) and Ć or Cj (Ћ) respectively. It is kind of like in Serbian - almost a Џ(Дж) or Ч but palatalized. However, I don't know why this happens in Prilep but not Skopje. It may have something to do with Krale Marko/Kraljević Marko, whose capital was Prilep. The Ќ is the same: we say ноќе, you say нокье (at least that's what I got from Makedonsko Devojče).

Also, what do you think of an article dealing with differences between Macedonian and Bulgarian? There is one for Differences between standard Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian and Macedonian and Bulgarian have more differences than them.
