"Macedonian" had not still invented at that time. At the time mother Teresa grew up in the Ottoman sanjak of Kosovo, whose capital was Üsküp (Skopje) in an Albanian catholic family. She quited the country forever at the age of 18 moving first to Ireland. As far as she contacted her fellow citizens, she must have obtained some proficiency of the vernacular of the non-Albanian community in Skopje, which in the period 1910-1928 was both locally and internationally called Bulgarian, although Serbian authorities considered it a kind of Serbian dialect. Thus, "Macedonian" in the sense of a separate language was not thought of.
