Where is the source on this? According to this[0]:
> The surviving public and private inscriptions found in Macedonia indicate that there was no other written language in ancient Macedonia but Ancient Greek
So Macedonia was a kingdom where the aristocracy spoke Attic and later Koine Greek, and the vernacular being either a Greek dialect or other Hellenic language. So the written language would have been Attic/Koine. Alexander, being royalty, would have spoken and written in Attic/Koine Greek.
