Default Re: Your Opinion On The Macedonian Issue
Genetically speaking, the population of FYROM is predominantly local Balkanoid,
and closely related to other peoples in the area.

They adopted the Slavic language which isn't a dialect of Bulgarian, at least not
any more than Bulgarian is a dialect of Serbian. All Slavic languages are similar to one another, especially those which exist together in the neighbourhood.

The teritory on which FYROM exists, and also other states exist is called Macedonia
since ancient times.

Macedonians were most likely a Hellenic-speaking people, closely related to Greeks.

I don't see any continuity there so that FYROM-ians should claim descendance from Alexander the Great, at least not any more than any other closely related Balkan people.
