By terms of culture maybe but not by genetics. I could always tell apart a Macedonian from a Greek in terms of appearance. Can any expert on this help us out?
Please tell me the physical characteristics of a Macedonian (no relation to the Slav country FYROM) and that of a Greek.
I am a Greek from West Macedonia. My family have always lived in the same city. We did not migrate here, we were always here. Tell me the difference between myself and a Greek from Southern Greece.

If you visit the museum in Vergina, West Macedonia, Greece you will see that the broken pieces of marble taken mainly from old tombstones to build Phillip's mound have Greek letters on them. No where will you see any other language.
If the Ancient Macedons had another language, why weren't their tombstones engraved with the characters of this language? Was it a written language or did they use Greek as their written language. We know that Alexander used the Greek language in his studies, we know that he wrote his letters to his mother in Greek. We know he used Greek as his official language. Did he use Macedonian at all? Is there any proof that he ever wrote in Macedonian?
