This was a great dissection of what it truly means to be Noble. It also indicates that failing nobility is a problem older than I thought. Throughout the ages it can be seen in the debates between Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine and the embrace of radical chic here in the United States. Brilliant read, thank you.
The source of good virtues is Christ. One can learn them and rehearse them in life, like a habit. But, authentic conduct comes from the Souls compassion to serve which is influenced by Christ. Language at its essence is communication, although one may not be native by circumstance, being concise with words and meaning is paramount.
Lay people today strive for the label of " nobilty" or upper class in a misconstrued way. Most people are pretending to be higher classes than what they are. They are driven by Pride and have it confused as a Virtue. Appearance is an aspect of it, but it's not status. Nobility is not an example of pride, but rather the product of certain virtues passed down through families or attained. Being noble is, serving higher virtues than your own interests.
As a father of four, what really resonated reading the article was the idea of not being a "native speaker" but putting in the work so that our children now.
I converted to Christianity in my late teens, and came out of an Irish working class background, so I am passing Christian disciplines onto them that I've learnt, but outside of this, I'm somewhat out of my depths.
Looking at these virtues that the great families of old have passed on throughout the ages, and examining the principles behind their action to take into the 21st century would be great. Hope that helps.

Great timing, and thanks for the shoutout! Just beginning a series on a similar theme. What a brilliant book.
Fantastic read. I'd love to see further articles in this manner.
Thank you Danny. What specific topics would you like us to touch on?
