The Croatian Language
- Croatian is natively known as Hrvatski jezik and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, South Slavic language family.
- There are approximately 5.6 million native speakers worldwide.
- Croatian is the official language of Croatia and one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union.
- Croatian uses the Latin alphabet exclusively, unlike Serbian which can use both Cyrillic and Latin, providing a key orthographic distinction between the two closely related languages.
- The Croatian literary tradition dates back to the Baska Tablet from around 1100 CE, one of the oldest surviving texts in a South Slavic language.
- Croatian has been standardised based on the Stokavian dialect with ijekavian pronunciation, and maintains a purist tradition of coining native Slavic terms rather than borrowing from other languages.
- Croatia's Dalmatian coast has influenced the language with Italian loanwords, particularly in vocabulary related to maritime life, food, and architecture.
- Croatian Australians number over 130,000 (including second generation), making Australia home to one of the largest Croatian diaspora communities. Migration began in the late 19th century with settlers from Dalmatia working in mining and fishing, with larger waves after World War II and during the Yugoslav era. Communities are strong in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Geelong.
About Eastwood
Eastwood is a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Eastwood is located 17 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government areas of the City of Ryde and the City of Parramatta. Eastwood is in the Northern Suburbs region. Originally thought to have been inhabited by the Wallumedegal Aboriginal tribe, who lived in the area between the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers, the area was first settled by Europeans shortly after the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, from land grants to Royal Marines and NSW Corps, and was named "Eastwood" by an early Irish free settler, William Rutledge. Today it is a large urban centre in the north of Sydney of over 14,000 people, with a large shopping area. Eastwood has a large population of Asian descent with immigrants from China and South Korea transforming the commercial precinct in the past decade. Eastwood is famous for the Granny Smith Apple, which was first grown in the suburb. Every October, the oval and cordoned-off streets become the grounds for the annual Granny Smith Festival, a celebration of the icon with fairground rides, market stalls, street theatres, parades, an apple-baking competition and a fireworks spectacular at the Upper Eastwood Oval. In recent years the festival has been influenced by the substantial Asian immigrant communities, with Chinese dragon dancers in the Grand Parade and Chinese stallholders. Conversely, Eastwood's annual Chinese New Year Celebrations have broadened its appeal by incorporating concurrent Korean New Year traditions, and have accordingly been renamed the Lunar New Year Festivities.
