    The Macedonian language got its literary form in the 1940s, but Greek was decided upon as late as in the 1970s when you finally abolished the Katharevousa. So in this case Macedonian predates Greek.

    Here is a quote from wikipedia:
    Two main forms of the language have been in use since the end of the medieval Greek period: Dhimotikí (Δημοτική), the Demotic (vernacular) language, and Katharévusa (Καθαρεύουσα, meaning "purified"), an imitation of classical Greek, which was used for literary, juridic, administrative and scientific purposes during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This diglossia problem was brought to an end in 1976 (act — νόμος — 306/1976), when Dhimotikí was declared the official language of Greece.

      Are we talking about languages or written works? Think about that.

        History starts when writing starts.

          Hmm, I disagree with both of your statements.

                so you are negating oral history, thus the native Indians in the Brazilian rainforest are lacking history, is that a correct assumption?

                  Prehistory,oral-history,culture,tradition slightly differ.

                  ..anyway its still awkward a nation which conquered the known world to abandon and forget its own language in favor of a foreign one.

                    You see there has to be something wrong with the person who would ask such a question !

                    Why is it in a land that produced one of the first alphabets in the world (Iraq) illiteracy is higher than anywhere else?

                    Who ever said the ancient Macedonians had to keep their language, or remember it for that matter, just because they were brilliant bloodthirsty warriors?

                    And who says they didn't leave a language behind?

                        Awkward, but not unprecedented.

                            So you are the self-appointed representative of all the World universities? Why didn't we think of that.

                              Just happens to share the same opinion.

                                But not all universities (or other such institutions) share same opinions amongst themselves.
