Ancient Macedonian Language

The Ancient Macedonian language was a dialect of Greek spoken in the northern region of Greece during classical antiquity. It is considered part of the Hellenic language family, sharing similarities with classical Greek but with unique features and regional variations. Its exact classification remains debated among linguists due to limited surviving evidence, primarily inscriptions and place names. Historically, it was used by the Macedonian people, including leaders like Alexander the Great, and played a role in the broader Greek cultural and political sphere. Today, the language is extinct and understood mainly through inscriptions and historical references.
