Default Macedonian poets who wrote in...greek language!!

So we listen from the skopjan propagandists that maybe only the royal Macedonian family and possibly the Macedonian nobility spoke greek. Then..If so, how come Greek was the language that ordinary Macedonians like Posidippus, Adaeus, Heggesepus or Phaedimus also wrote poetry in???? Why did they wrote to a so called from the propagandists, "foreign" language and didnt use theirs??? Why didn't all the rest of neighbouring countries (Illyrians, Paeonians, etc) who used also Greek, at least their elite, didnt wrote Greek poetry?

All the evidence must have been destroyed by Greeks.
