It has often been a matter of wonder how the Slavonians, worn out by so many destructive wars, could have peopled all Illyria with their numerous hordes;
the Servians and Bosnians, it is thought,
found and mingled with an ancient nation of the same origin as themselves on their arrival in the country during the sixth century. Dolce maintains boldly that Illyria was the native country of the people whose colonists now occupy the whole of Poland and Russia; his arguments were too hastily rejected by the celebrated Adelung(1).

We do not mean to affirm that the Proto-Slavonians scattered in Thrace, Illyria and Pannonia were not distinguished by their manners customs and language from the Venedi, Lygii, Vindili, Karpi and other northern Slavonic states. They might have differed from them as much as the Pelasghi differed from the Hellenes, the Etruscans from the Latins, and the Romans in the time of Romulus from those in the age of Augustus; they might have lived among the Thracian nations or mixed with the Illyrian Romans or been oppressed by the powerful Celtic hordes; but
the existence of the Proto-Slavonians both in the countries watered by the Save and the Drave and in those near the Strymon (Struma) and the Hebrus (Marica), is a fact of which history affords abundant evidence. [

The Hyperboreans who remained faithful to the Pelasgic and Hellenic worship, formed probably part of those tribes; from their country several Greek divinities, among others Opora, found their way into the Olympus of Wends; they adored Iacchus or Bacchus under the title Iako-Bog or God of the dead(x); the same divinity was known to the ancient Italians by the name of Vragus.(y) The resemblance in the manners, customs and mythology of the Italian and Hellenic states on the one side, and the Slavonic and Illyrian on the other might, if carefully examined, throw additional light on the primitive history of Europe; but little valuable information could be gained on that important branch of comparative geography without much labour, patience and research.
The Roman emperors induced the Slavines or Slaves to repeople Illyria during the incursions of the conquering Goths and devastating Huns; the Byzantine historians recorded their names and exploits. The Serbi or Serbli migrated from the Great or White Servia, one or other, but which of the two it is difficult to determine(z); the country is supposed to be the present Galicia. The people were divided into the Red and White Serbi, they remained for some time in Macedonia, where the town Servitza is still a monument of their invasion, and settled afterwards on the banks of the Morava and the Drina. Some of them however did not remove from Macedonia, and their flourishing, rich and warlike state braved all power of Byzantium. One of their colonies advanced into the Peloponnesus, and was in time confounded whith the ancient inhabitants. The Red Servians not only occupied the whole of Servia, of which a part was called Rascia, but founded in Dalmatia the duchy or zupania of Zacholmia, the petty states of Terbun and Narenta and the town of Dioclea, the birth place of the emperor Diocletian, who adorned it with temples and palaces, which have been since overwhelmed in the marshy waters of the lake Lignester.
The White Servians possessed the whole of Bosnia to the banks of the Verbaz, and divided it into small principalities and republics, that were oppressed at different periods by the Bulgarian and Hungarian kings. Bosnia from being a Servian Zupania became a Hungarian province; and the bannat of Mazovia was formed in the north of Servia by the monarchs of Hungary.
While the Servians were scattered in the interior of Illyria, a number of Polish-Slavonians migrated from the Great Chrobatia on the Carpathian mountains, and placed themselves at the head of the ancient population of Pannonia; strengthened by the assistance of the inhabitants, they conquered the western part of Dalmatia and the countries to the west of the Verbaz. The Croatians or Horwaths were of a different tribe, and spoke a different language, they embraced the Latin, the Servians adhered to the Greek church. The Croatians, from their connexion with the west, retained all the chivalry and barbarism in the feudal laws and customs; the Servians on the Haliacmon and the Danube were like the Russians, brave and industrious; both were addicted to similar superstitions, which they did not wholly lay aside after their admission of Christianity; like brothers born in different climates, they met in the ancient and long forgotten countries of their forefathers.
Thus two distinct invasions, the one of the western, the other of the eastern Slavonians were made by the children of the Proto-Slavonic tribes. The descendants of these invaders, are the Slavo-Illyrians or the Slavonic nations on the south of the Danube; their population in the Austrian, Hungarian and Ottoman territories amounts to nearly 4,000,000 of strong, active and brave men, naturally intelligent, and well fitted to make progress in the arts of peace and war. Is the example of Stephen Duscian likely to be followed, who, with such men, proclaimed himself emperor of the Romans, and marched against Constantinople at the head of 80,000 warriors?

Malte-Brunov spisak antičkih slovenskih naroda:
itd.
Tu je makedonsku teoriju učvrstio i njegov učenik Vatroslav Oblak organiziravši dijalektološku ekspediciju u okolici Soluna. 1896. svojim je Makedonskim studijama dokazao povezanost makedonskog govora sa staroslavenskim jezikom. Tako je nastala danas priznata makedonska teorija.
