What were the ethnic origins of ancient macedonians and their language?
Where they related to Greeks or to Thracyans and Illyrians?

Well said. This is a common misunderstanding among many people that languages spoken by a given people at any particular time in some way relate to their own ethnic origins. After all, we are all speaking English on this message board, and yet I would imagine that only a fraction of us can trace our entire lineage back to the Anglo-Saxon progenitors of this language!
