The Dutch Language
- Dutch is natively known as Nederlands and belongs to the Indo-European, Germanic, West Germanic language family.
- There are approximately 25 million native speakers worldwide.
- Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Suriname, and several Caribbean islands including Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten.
- Dutch is the closest major language to English, sharing a common ancestor in West Germanic, and many English words have Dutch origins including "cookie," "boss," "yacht," and "landscape."
- The language has two main standard varieties: Netherlands Dutch and Belgian Dutch (Flemish), with differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammar.
- Dutch played a significant role in world trade and colonialism, leading to its influence on languages such as Indonesian, Malay, Japanese, and several creole languages.
- The Dutch language has a system of diminutives (adding -je, -tje, -pje suffixes) that is used far more extensively than in English, even with abstract concepts.
- Dutch migration to Australia was significant in the post-World War II era, with over 150,000 Dutch migrants arriving between 1945 and 1970 as part of assisted migration programs. The Netherlands-born population now numbers around 60,000, with many more of Dutch descent. Dutch Australians have integrated extensively but maintain cultural connections through clubs and the annual King's Day celebrations.
About Barangaroo
Barangaroo is an inner-city suburban area of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the north-western edge of the Sydney central business district and the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney, and was part of the territory of the Cadigal people, the traditional owners of the Sydney city region. The area was used for fishing and hunting by Australian Aborigines prior to colonial settlement.
The area is inclusive of The Hungry Mile, the name harbourside workers gave to the docklands area of Darling Harbour East, where workers would walk from wharf to wharf in search of a job, often failing to find one. In 2003, the Government of New South Wales determined that the precinct would be redeveloped from shipping and stevedoring facilities to provide more commercial office space and recreational areas. This redevelopment has moved from design contest to concept plan from 2005 to 2012. In the interim, stevedoring facilities have been relocated, some of the site remediated, and temporary alternate uses such as major events and a cruise passenger terminal implemented, pending major development. The site is managed by an agency of the Government, called the Barangaroo Delivery Authority. This area was of great importance to Aboriginal Cadigal people as a major hunting and fishing region. Large shell middens and numerous rock engravings close to the site indicate indigenous occupation dating back around 6,000 years, while radiocarbon dates from other parts of Sydney indicate that the wider area was occupied for at least 14,500 years prior to European settlement, from 1788.
