The Burmese Language
- Burmese is natively known as မြန်မာစာ and belongs to the Sino-Tibetan, Tibeto-Burman, Lolo-Burmese language family.
- There are approximately 33 million native speakers worldwide.
- Burmese is the official language of Myanmar (Burma) and uses the Myanmar script, a rounded script descended from the Brahmi script of ancient India.
- The circular shapes of the Myanmar script are thought to have evolved because writing was traditionally done on palm leaves, where straight lines would tear the leaves.
- Burmese is a tonal language with four tones: low, high, creaky, and checked, each changing the meaning of otherwise identical syllables.
- The language has a complex system of honorifics and particles that indicate the speaker's social relationship to the listener, with different forms for monks, elders, and peers.
- Burmese script can also be used to write other languages of Myanmar, including Shan, Mon, and Karen, with additional characters.
- Myanmar-born Australians number over 40,000, with migration accelerating due to political persecution, the Rohingya crisis, and the 2021 military coup. Communities are concentrated in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, comprising diverse ethnic groups including Burmese (Bamar), Karen, Chin, Kachin, and Rohingya.
About Joadja
Joadja was a thriving mining town between 1870–1911. It was home for approximately 1,100 people, many of whom were skilled immigrants from Scotland, and was connected to the nearby town of Mittagong by a narrow gauge railway that terminated adjacent to the main Southern Railway line in Mittagong. The town existed to mine oil shale from which kerosene was extracted by the Australian Kerosene Oil and Mineral Co. The process was superseded by conventional kerosene production from oil and the oil shale mining became uneconomical.
By 1911, the town had become deserted as inhabitants relocated in search of work. The property was auctioned off that year to a private buyer. The fruit orchard, which included 6,700 trees continued to operate until 1924, exporting fruit for local and interstate consumption. Situated in a deep valley, the town had limited access by road, instead exporting shale via a steep railway out of the valley. The passage into Joadja has improved greatly since then, with the gravel access road maintained annually. The township is still recognisable, despite the state of its ruins. The sandstone school, the mine, houses, refinery and even the cemetery remain as a testament to the community that lived in the valley more than a century ago.
