- The Paionian language is the poorly attested language of the ancient Paionians, whose kingdom once stretched north of Macedon into Dardania and in earlier times into southwestern Thrace. Several Paionian words are known from classical sources: monapos, monaipos, a wild bull tilôn, a species of fish once found in Lake Prasias paprax, a species of fish once found in Lake Prasias. Paprakas, masc. acc. pl. A number of anthroponyms (some known only from Paionian coinage) are attested, as well as several toponyms and a few theonyms (Dryalus, Dyalus, the Paionian Dionysus), as well as the following: Pontos, affluent of the Strumica River, perhaps from *ponktos, "boggy" (cf. German feucht, "wet", Middle Irish éicne "salmon", Sanskrit pánka "mud, mire"); Stoboi, name of a city, from *stob(h) (cf. Old Prussian stabis "rock", Old Church Slavonic stoboru, "pillar", Old English stapol, "post", Ancient Greek stobos, "scolding, bad language"); Dóberos, other Paionian city, from *dheubh- "deep" (cf. Lithuanian dubùs, English deep); Agrianes, name of a tribe, from *agro- "field" (cf. Latin ager, Greek agros). Classical sources usually considered the Paionians distinct from Thracians or Illyrians, comprising their own ethnicity and language. Athenaeus seems to have connected the Paionian tongue to the Mysian language, itself barely attested. If correct, this may mean that Paionian was an Anatolian language. On the other hand, the Paionians were also regarded as being related to Thracians and ancestors of the Phrygians, which may prove that Paionian is in the Paleo-Balkanic linguistic group. Modern linguists are uncertain on the classification of Paionian, due to the extreme scarcity of materials we have on this language. On one side are Wilhelm Tomaschek and Paul Kretschmer, who claim it belonged to the Illyrian family, and on the other side is Dimiter Dečev, who claims affinities with Thracian. However, it seems that Paionian was different from either. It shows a/o distinctiveness and does not appear to be a Satem language. The Indo-European voiced aspirates (*bh, *dh, etc) became plain voiced consonants (/b/, /d/, etc), just like in Illyrian(albanian also), Thracian, and Phrygian
