I don't mind if you call yourself Macedonian. Go for it, providing you keep in the side of your mind that Greek and Macedonia is mutually intelligible, linguistically, geographically, ethnically & culturally.

Areianos, why do you keep parroting this nonsense?

Please tell me since when the above highlighted part is true.....

Risto the Great

Exactly.
Let the Greeks bring their best game here.
I (amongst others) have the fortune of having very simple facts that they have extreme difficulty answering.

So we are waiting for yr tough questions Risto can we start??

You claim today's Greeks are not connected with the ancient ones yet you cannot expalin to us how did the language survive the ages??If Greece was inhabited by Arvanites,Slavs,Vlachs and Turks how did the labguge maintain its standing?

Could you please explain how the 2.5 million Greeks in the Greek part of Macedonia are connected with the Ancients.

It's called language my northern friend.Our language has survived the ages unlike other languages that have dissapeared.Greek was spoken right throughout the Balkans yet by the 10th century it disapeared in the northern part of the Balkans.In the southern part though it survived how is this so?How can a language survive if the people who speak it as their mother tongue are not Greek??

Well, why isn't it? What do you mean keep parroting? I was born in Macedonia and have visited it on countless occasions. That was not parroting nor false statement, it is the reality. Feel free to visit Thessaloniki, Veroia, Kavala, Kozani, Pella for yourself to see what I exactly mean.

We have never claimed pureness, but even if we had 5% Greek blood we are still Greeks and a connection would exist.

In all societies the majority always rule eventually.The slavs who came from the East overwhelmed the other people like the Bulgars,Paeonians,Avars and pushed the Illyrians out and the dacians into their corner of today's Romania.

Gold Medal!
Why not adopt French now. It sounds nicer.
None of my people spoke Greek before the mind-meld.
Metaxas had more to do with it than your mother's tongue.
I am sure you would agree that fascism has its place in the world.

As much as Tito forced people to change their names from OV to SKI so what's the difference Risto??
