Macedonians (Template:Lang-el, alternative names: Greek Macedonians or Macedonian Greeks) is the term by which ethnic Greeks originating from Macedonia, particularly Greek Macedonia, are known. In Greek historical literature, they are often referred to as Makedones or Makedhones (Μακεδόνες: Macedonians).

Macedonians (Greek) compose the vast majority of the population of the Greek region of Macedonia. The 2001 census for the total population of the Macedonia region in Greece shows 2,625,681.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

Background

During the Ottoman domination of Macedonia, Greek Macedonians reportedly constituted in both the 19th century and early 20th century the majority of the Christian population in the vilayets of Selânik (Thessaloniki) and Manastır (Bitola). Approximately 100,000 Greeks were recorded in the 1941 census of Axis occupied Yugoslavia.

Many Greek Macedonians have emigrated to Australia, mostly from Florina, Kastoria and Kozani, primarily between the years 1924 - 1974. The Greek Macedonian community in Melbourne has been reported to have been in conflict with the Slavic Macedonian community over the usage of cultural symbols, such as the Vergina Sun, which is used by both groups. Such incidents heightened during the years 1992 - 1995 when the naming dispute between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia had just begun.
