18th-19th century 'greek' intellectuals saw Anc. Maks as conquerors

That's your own theory,Risto,but no linguist subscribes to it.Most of them have already from 19th century recorded the existence of various Greek dialects in what you have described as the North of Greece:

No there is no other form of "greek" spoken in Macedonia other then new Greek invented by the government and taught to people.

There is no Macedonian 'dialect' of Greek, neither in ancient or modern times. The mere suggestion is absurd. If there are any particulars of the Greek spoken in Macedonia, it is because the Macedonian language has influenced the way people speak Greek in those parts.

This is true. There is also evidence people in Macedonia had a hard time with greek phonetics when they were being forced to learn the language even in Vlachdom, or where people had "greek conciousness".

Just when you modern "greeks" thought that this topic would fall into obscurity I happen to stumble upon something that is toxic to your diet of BS you are fed at grk school. And this one is a doozy let me tell you


page 59




So the one man that created your national history (Paparrigopulos) thought that the ancient Macedonians were a distinct nation of their own. Well that is until he ran into Droysen who spoon fed him German "hellenism" and pretty much wrote your history from a German point of view And look who wrote the piece. One of your own , Ioannis Koubourlis

Interesting. Depending on the region it took up to 130 years for the "modern greek" state ideologists to impose their rent system on things. Of course this is presented to assimilated modern greeks as "liberation" but seems to be something very different at play. Thats why modern greece has always been an unstable construct, because mostly fake. Hence the almost hysterical need to claim 4000 years of continuous greek civilisation blah blah as part of the states ideological, propaganda and terror apparatus etc.

That is interesting. Did the names Philipos and Alexandros appear in the city-states prior to Macedonian domination?
