] He was to be one of themselves. As Curtius observed, not a man among the Macedonians could bear to part with a jot of his ancestral customs. The use of this dialect was one way in which the Macedonians expressed their apartness from the world of the Greek city-states.

[Eyrynomos]

] In 321 when a non-Macedonian general, Eumenes, wanted to make contact with a hostile group of Macedonian infantrymen, he sent a Macedonian to speak to them in the Macedonian dialect, in order to win their confidence. Subsequently, when they and the other Macdonian soldiers were serving with Eumenes, they expresed their affection for him by hailing him in the Macedonian dialect (Makedonisti

[Eyrynomos]

The use of this dialect among themselves was a characteristic of the Macedonian soldiers (rather that the officers) of the Kings Army. This point is made clear in the report — not in itself dependable — of the trial of a Macedonian officer before an Assembly of Macedonians, in which the officer (Philotas) was mocked for not speaking in dialect

[Eyrynomos]

So the order in Macedonian was unique, in that all other orders were in the koine.[34] It is satisfactorily explained as an order in broad dialect, just as in the Highland Regiment a special order for a particular purpose could be given in broad Scots by a Scottish officer who usually spoke the Kings English.

On one occassion Alexander called out to his guardsmen in Macedonian (Makedonisti), as this [viz. the use of Macedonian] was a signal (symbolon) that there was a serious riot. Normally Alexander and his soldiers spoke standard Greek, the koine, and that was what the Persians who were to fight alongside the Macedonians were taught

[Eyrynomos]

In passages which refer to the Macedonian soldiers of Alexander the Great and the early successors there are mentions of a Macedonian dialect, such as was likely to have been spoken in the original Macedonian homeland

But inscriptions found in Epirus have shown conclusively that the Epirote tribes in Thucydides lifetime were speaking Greek and used names which were Greek.[32] In the following century barbarian was only one of the abusive terms applied by Demosthenes to Philip of Macedon and his people

[Eyrynomos]

To Greek literary writers before the Hellenistic period the Macedonians were barbarians. The term referred to their way of life and their institutions, which were those of the ethne and not of the city-state, and it did not refer to their speech. We can see this in the case of Epirus. There Thucydides called the tribes barbarians.

LapathusThe mountain names Olympus and Titarium may be pre-Greek; Edessa, the earlier name for the place where Aegae was founded, and its river Ascordus were Phrygian.[31] The deities worshipped by the Macedones and the names which they gave to the months were predominantly Greek, and there is no doubt that these were not borrowings
