By David Edenden,
This documentary was made before the current round of the Macedonian - Greek dispute which started with the independence of Macedonia in 1991
In the film, the distinction between Macedonians and Greeks, their political system, mentality and culture are clearly displayed. Greek and foreign historians regard Macedonians as a distinct nation from the ancient Greeks.
We would like to thank the Greek government at that time, Greece archaeological site director and team leaders, the Greek national museums, and their English friends for making this film possible

Classification
ReplyDeleteDue to the fragmentary attestation various interpretations are possible.[2] The suggested historical interpretations of Macedonian include:[3]
* a Greek dialect, part of the North-Western (Locrian, Aetolian, Phocidian, Epirote) variants of Doric Greek , suggested by N.G.L. Hammond (1989) and O. Masson (1996).[4][5]
* a northern Greek dialect, related to Aeolic Greek and Thessalian, suggested among others by A.Fick (1874) and O.Hoffmann (1906).[4][6]
* a Greek dialect mixed with Illyrian languages or the Thracian language, suggested by Kretschmer (1896) and E. Schwyzer (1959).
* a Greek dialect with a non-Indo-European substratal influence, suggested by M. Sakellariou (1983).
* an "Illyrian" dialect mixed with Greek, suggested by K. O. Müller (1825) and by G. Bonfante (1987).
* an Indo-European language which is a close cousine to Greek and also related to Thracian and Phrygian languages, suggested by A. Meillet (1913) and I. I. Russu (1938)
macedonian language
Ancient Macedonians were either
Dorian Greeks or hellenized
Thraco-Illyrians.
Where is the evidence
of Slavicized Macedonians later?
