Emri i Maqedonisë, i njohur dikur si "Emathia", rrjedh sipas të gjitha gjasave nga E-Madhia fjala shqipe (i madh). Sa për Iliri, "Liria" në shqip do të thotë "liri", dhe shqiptarët e interpretojnë atë si "vendi i lirë."

Division of Intercourse and Education - Arbitration, International - 1919 ====================================== .. and also place-names, and their strong resemblance to modern Albanian ... that spoken by Alexander the Great of Macedon and of King Pyrrhus of Epirus... We first hear of our ancestors from classical authors who describe and give the names of many of the independent clans who inhabited the Balkan Peninsula when its history dawns. All authorities agree that they are not Greek. The Greeks, in fact, designated them "barbarians." The main groups formed by these clans were known as Macedonia, Illyria, and Epirus. The inhabitants of all three, so Strabo informs us, spoke the same tongue and had similar customs. The very name of Macedonia, formerly known as "Emathia," derives in all probability from the Albanian word E Madhia (the great). As for Illyria, "liria" in Albanian means "freedom," and we Albanians interpret it as "land of the free." Strabo gives specimens of the language in his day, and also place-names, and their strong resemblance to modern Albanian justifies us in believing our language to be the direct descendant of that spoken by Alexander the Great of Macedon and of King Pyrrhus of Epirus. In old days Illyria and Epirus together extended from the neighborhood of Trieste to the Gulf of Arta, the north side of which, as Strabo particularly informs us, was inhabited by the Epirotes, and the south by Greeks. Inland the Illyrian and Epirote land spread widely. Thus, all that we now know as Bosnia, the Herzegovina, Montenegro, and a large part of Serbia, was comprised in Illyria, as well as modern Albania.
