The Macedonian Language
- Macedonian is natively known as Македонски and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, South Slavic, Eastern South Slavic language family.
- There are approximately 2 million native speakers worldwide.
- Macedonian was codified as a standard language in 1945 following the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia within Yugoslavia.
- The language is closely related to Bulgarian, and the two share many features including the loss of noun cases and the use of a definite article suffix, unusual among Slavic languages.
- Macedonian uses a Cyrillic alphabet of 31 letters, including several unique characters such as \xd0\x83, \xd0\x85, \xd1\x98, \xd1\x99, and \xd1\x9a.
- The Saints Cyril and Methodius, creators of the Glagolitic alphabet from which Cyrillic derives, were from Thessaloniki and spoke a Slavic dialect closely related to Old Macedonian.
- The Macedonian language has been at the centre of political disputes, with some neighbouring countries historically questioning its status as a separate language.
- Australia has one of the largest Macedonian diaspora communities in the world, with an estimated 90,000-200,000 people of Macedonian ancestry. Communities are concentrated in Melbourne (Thomastown, Epping, Rockbank), Sydney (Rockdale, Bankstown), and Wollongong. Migration peaked in the 1960s-1970s under guest worker schemes. Macedonian Orthodox churches, community centres, and soccer clubs are important cultural institutions.
About Fortitude Valley
Fortitude Valley (also known simply as "The Valley") is a suburb of central Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. The suburb lies immediately northeast of the Brisbane central business district, and is one of the hubs of Brisbane's nightlife, renowned for its Nightclubs, bars and adult entertainment. At the 2011 Australian Census Fortitude Valley recorded a population of 5,615.
In the 1950s, the suburb was the largest shopping precinct outside of a central business district in Australia. Scottish immigrants from the ship SS Fortitude arrived in Brisbane in 1849, enticed by Rev Dr John Dunmore Lang on the promise of free land grants. Denied land, the immigrants set up camp in Bowen Hills. A number of the immigrants moved on and settled the suburb, naming it after the ship on which they arrived. A post office was established in 1887.
1891 saw the train line extended from the Brisbane central business district into Fortitude Valley, and Thomas Beirne opened a business on Brunswick Street. His business thrived and, after extension, he travelled to England in 1896, leaving his manager of two years, James McWhirter, in charge. Soon after his return, McWhirter established a competing drapery business opposite Beirne's in 1898. Beirne and McWhirter became keen rivals and are credited with establishing the Valley as a hub of commerce from the late 1890s.
