Ancient - Slavic Dictionary

[danielmaco]

There is a lot of Slavic in us but we also have a lot of ancient Macedonian in us
A lot more ancient Macedonian in us than that of modern or ancient greeks

The following dictionary consists of cognates present between ancient Balkan words and Slavic. Although the Slavic languages fall within the Balto-Slavic family, the Baltic cognates which are also plentiful are not cited here. The main source of ancient words are drawn from the languages of the tribes that dwell in the territory occupied by the Slavs of today with additions from Asia minor and other parts of Europe also. Some words have an indo-European commonality while some share features with other Balkan languages of today. A substantial amount of cognates, however, are present in Slavic and only in Slavic and the volume of these demonstrates the overwhelming significance of the Slavic tongues in relation to the words of the ancient era. Due to the majority of these words being cited in either an ancient Greek or Latin script or source, one cannot definitively determine the exact sounds or pronunciation of the words as they would have been if spoken by the natives themselves.

TB, i think his point is that some words that we use are of illyrian, thracian and phyrgian origin. His point is, the arrival of the slavs did not entirely dilute the existing language that was spoken by the inhabitants of the geographic reigion of Macedonia.

And also remember how we said that we wont insult eachother anymore. I think calling him "Daniel boon" might somehow break that "agreement"

[Truth Bearer]

Come on MKDNIA do you know who Daniel Boon was???

No MKDNIA your "brother" is one of the maknews clowns who beleives in the Slavic make-up of the Anceint Balkans. Why dont you ask him yourself?

Good to see you and him are good mates. maybe you should exchagne ph numbers

[Tsontos]

I love the way some skopjians beleive in the ancient slavic theories and some beleive in a "mixing theory" later on

[Vasiliye]

Nonsense.Folk etymologies,false cognates plus few indoeuropean similarities............

[Orphic_Hymn]

I mean hell, this is elementary school level yet these morons manage to ridicule theimselves at every chance. OF COURSE you'll find words in Slavic that'll have their root in antiquity you fools.
Haven't you ever heard of the IndoEuropean linguistic theory or do you idiots believe you discovered the wheel?

But for the hell of it, please do explain under which linguistic laws is "Agkalis" connected to "Raka", "Apollo" to "Opale, Pali, Zapali", "Attagos" to "Koza".. etc?
