Alexandre the Great!?
Well, dear all! It is strange that we remember all kind of people, of more or less importance, who either existed historically or were made by some rulers!
But, we forgot to celebrate the 2330 years from the death of Alexandre the Great!
In his memory, let me ask: what was his mother language?
His gracve be with all of us!

This is what is known and proved! He spoke Greek, and this is what all historians agree with!
It is 2330 years the world have lost one of her greatest persons!
He spread the Greek civilization South and East!
He was unique, He had:
Father, one of the greatest general, he "invented" what we now know as "army" and strategies, in peace and war!
Mother, the high priestess of the Kavyrean mysteries
Mentor, Aristotle
Friends, including Nearchos from Crete, who was the Admiral in the sea as Aelxandre himself was the general on land!

Yes, you are right! He died some days before summer solstice!
His mother language was Greek. Only barbarians did not have Greek as mother language!
He was reading the Iliad of Homer, even during his campaign to China and India!

Let's not celebrate, but commemorate the life of Alexander the Great, occasioned by the anniversary. And yes, I've quite forgotten. Shame on me.
In his memory, his native tongue was probably Greek. And one of his teachers was Aristotle, no less.

Alexander, the greatest of all great men spoke greek.
He died an afternoon like today, 2330 years ago, as you already said. I don't think that celebration is the proper word to honor his memory.
Hail to Alexander !
Hail to Greece !

Greek. Although he was Macedonian, still, the language of the educated and the powerful of that time was Greek, especially in his area (Macedonia is next door to Greece).

uhhh... greek? He was from Macedonia so it could be a dialect of some kind. However, he was taught by Aristotle too, so he could have sounded Athenian
