the ancient Macedonian Alphabet is one of the oldest

[George S.]

The Ancient Macedonian Alphabet has 36 letters where as the GReek,Phonecian,eutuscan have 24 letters.Some people say that it's a base for all other phonetic alphabets.THere is a theory that the Greeks didn't invent the alphabet but the Macedonians did.Apparently the Ancient Macedonian Alphabet went further into prehistoric timesI welcome your input whatever you have on the Ancient Macedonian Alphabet see what you can dig up.

do you have any sources?

George, when you first signed up with this forum you persisted with such claims but then you backed off, why the sudden reappearance? What ancient Macedonian alphabet are you talking about? Where is the evidence, who used it and when? You can't make such a claim without providing anything at all to corroborate, and then expect others to give their input to something which you yourself have not proven, or defined for that matter.

I was actually meant to contact Vasil illov & to ask him to substantiate his assertions.I think he has to the extent that he has archaelogical evidence.He is /was at unet but i don't have his email.I thought members might know something.I'll try to get onto his website & see if he can shed some light.
THe fact that the macedonian Alphabet is very old & has 36 letter is a proven fact & it is on the website.I'll email him tha'ts if he responds.

No luck on the website on unet i think there's just heaps of utube stuff.Sorry i don't know his current email.
I thought members might know something new.I think the handfull of evidence even if it's scanty inscrptions don't convince anyone.I tried contacting him a couple ofyears ago he did'nt respond.I had indian people interested about the ancient vedas they were from Mountain man in Australia& illov stated that the Vedas & the sanscrit alphabet is derived from macedonia.He seems to be uncontactable.Hemay be shy.?? I saw past entries from Dimko Piperkata & The lion that will Roar & pelister dealing with Illov.

Guys if there is anything you would like to add on the alphabet & language of the Ancient Macedonians feel free to do so as long as it can be substantiated.

George, i will try to bail you out here. Though i must worn you, i might be posting prematurely here because i have only just looked into it and still trying to get my head around the information i am discovering regarding your subject. You might be asking, why am i posting unprepared? well i just want to wet your apetite so you don't give up your quest if its a subject you are interested in. Ok lets get to it.

The oldest alphabet or symbol you must be talking about is called "Vinča symbols, or signs", also known as the Vinča alphabet, Vinča-Turdaş script, or Old European script. which inhabited the region around 6000-4000 BC. Now some say that the Vinca Culture Writing, Pre dates what was once thought Sumerian written language, was the oldest form of writing, existing since approximately 3,100 BC.

The Vinča culture was an early culture of neolithic Europe between the 6th and the 3rd millennium BC, stretching around the course of Danube in what today is Serbia, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia, although traces of it can be found all around the Balkans, parts of Central Europe and Asia Minor. Evan in Greece.

Now if you look at the demotic script, like whats on the The Rosetta Stone for an example, you will find Egyptian hieroglyphs in the top section, that are demotic characters, you will find the signs similar to those of Vinca and the russian runica. It was russians who discovered the resemblance between their runica and demotics and asked, believe it or not: MACEDONIANS to decipher it. So this tells me That There is every chance, Demotic script derived from the vinca script.


vinca script



Then we have the egyptian coptic which was used by the egyptians to transcribe the foreign demotics. They used the familiar "greek" letters plus demotic ones for the correct pronunciation of what was written in the demotic. The coptic alphabet looks like this:



Like i said at the start, i have only scratched the serface of this subject and will look into it further.
