Macedonians # Fyromistanians
Who said they weren't Greeks? Maybe their origin wasn't greek, which is actually true, they were actually Illyrians or Thracians originally who most likely formed an own identity seperate from Illyrian and Thracian tribes, maybe like the Dardanians, who were neither included in Illyria or Thracia by strabo but as an own ethnicity, although its inhabitants have been refered to as Illyrians.. but ancient macedonian elite became or were Greeks long time ago, man. but I'm pretty sure at one point in time they had an own identity, regardless of their origin, related to their neighbors such as Thracians, Illyrians and Greeks. Which his actually a reason why sometimes they were seen as non-greeks, non illyrians, non thracians and as own identity but already by Alexanders time they were fully hellenized.... what is important to note here is that they were not slavs.
Butthurt detected.
