A noble and selfish cause

Thank you for your comments on this blog.
My reply includes few additional questions: "who are we preserving the language for? The Greeks in Greece or ourselves? Why is it their responsibility first and not ours? everybody's? who assigns that responsibility? who takes it on?"
Personally, I hate the loss. That gradual loss of the language, the withdrawal of expressions, the forsaking of words we used to use so intimately. That's what I'd like to preserve. No patriotic fanfare, photo ops or even pessimism. The cause is much more noble and selfish at the same time.
