Are the Irish any less Irish because 99% of them
do not know or speak Gaelic?
They are Celts nevertheless.
Too many of our Ukrainian bretheren in Ukraine
do not speak Ukrainian but rather a mixture
of Ruskie and Ukie.
We Ukrainians in the USA also do not speak pure
Ukie,whatever it is. Is the Ukie language of
the Hutzuls the same as the Lemkos?
Language is always changing. Who can say that
only one dialect is the one and only true Ukrainian?
