[Facts] Re: The Greek name Pelagia
in reply to a message by Ylva
In Ancient Greek was Peh-lah-GEE-ah (with a hard G), in modern Greek is Peh-lah-YEE-ah.The name is still in use in Greek, however it is uncommon.
"Until the day that an ancient inscription is found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "ALEXANDROS", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."
