Nikola Berovski ( Macedonian: Никола Беровски, 1923–1993) was a Macedonian educator and translator whose entire career was spent among the Macedonians in Albania. His Macedonian- Albanian dictionary contained over 10,000 words. [1]
Life
Born in Bitola, Berovski was among the Macedonian teachers sent to Albania following World War II. [2] His dictionary as well as his textbook in Macedonian for first grade and a grammar book for fourth-grade Macedonian were published in Tirana. After the Tito-Stalin Split in 1948, Berovski was one of two Macedonian teachers who remained in Albania, both having started families. [3] [2] The other teacher, Gjorgji Mileski, remained until 1957, while Berovski remained in Albania for the rest of his life. [4]
Berovski worked with and was a friend of writer Sterjo Spasse. [5] In commemoration of 90 years since his birth in 2013, 500 copies of his dictionary were printed by the Macedonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and distributed among Macedonians in Albania. [1]
