Readers should note that Teucrian and Phrygian are not synonymous, so there was confusion among the two different legendary accounts. The Teucrian version is probably more reliable. 007 08:06, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The reason the article's name is Paionia rather than Paeonia is because more recent (and more precise) practice is to transliterate it as Paionia, not Paeonia (see for example Errington's History of Macedonia, 1986). 007 9 July 2005 13:25 (UTC)
What happened to the Paionians? Who are their descendents today? Hungarians? Serbs? Romanians? The article should probably mention that. Edrigu 17:16, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- The Paionian language died out completely. Genes from the Paionians passed onto Greeks, Romanized peoples, and probably early Albanians. It is 99.99% certain that the Slavs came too late to get any Paionian genes directly, or any ancient Macedonian genes directly either. Though indirectly, the ancient Macedonian and Paionian genes have passed on even to Slavs, of course. ---007 05:46, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- I do not think we can entirely rule out the possibility that the Paionian language simply continued to be spoken and that its modern descendant is Albanian. (We simply cannot identify with certainty the precise ancestor of Albanian.) If this should not be the case, of course, the Paionians probably simply changed their language and thus became assimilated to one of the other peoples, be it Albanians, Greeks, Vlachs, and later southeastern Slavs or whoever.

[edit] Paionians directly decenders to people living in Rep. Macedonia
The people in Macedonia today are directle decends of the Paionians. Paionians settled Macedonians area 5000 B.C. Filip II named their teretorry Macedonia. That's why we Macedonians use the name today. But don't forget that the ancient Macedonians settled in Pelagonija valley. About the Slavic bulk, Slavs never settled in Macedonia. Why Macedonians today speak slavic is because when the Christination began the schoolar and bibles were in Russian slavic language. There was slavs occuring in the Balkans but they didn't came as settler they came as conqueres and to spread their culture.
