==Extinction== 
 What are the references for when ancient Macedonian became extinct? I mean the language, not necessarily the ethnicity, because I know of many cases where ethnic groups outlive the extinction of their original language for awhile. By the way, try to respond with references and citations, not guesses and inferences. I would guess that XMK could have went extinct as early as 50 BC or earlier — or centuries later —  but I have no citations.
