    I'm just asking a simple thing and since you posted the video, answer me.

    If the Macedonian language is unintelligible to the Greeks, why I understand Pella Katadesmos?

    If Macedonians spoke a different language from Greek, they wouldn't have had an alphabet of their own, so Greek would've still been used by the literate, educated people.

    The video answers the question on why The Macedonians wrote in Greek.

    Greek was used by the Aristocrats. The others of Macedon would have spoken something else that was unintelligible to the Greeks.
