It\'s all Greek to me (Makedonians included) ...

Quote:So far I mentioned only exonyms. However the dissonance between names and languages goes beyond that.

The notion implicit in the argument that Greeks and Macedonians spoke the same language is that they are a common people and identity. The history of English speaking peoples might betray that.

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
