Greek is natively known as Ελληνικά and belongs to the Indo-European, Hellenic language family.
There are approximately 13.5 million native speakers worldwide.
Greek has the longest documented history of any living Indo-European language, with written records spanning over 3,400 years from the Mycenaean era to the present.
The Greek alphabet, developed around 800 BCE, was the first to include separate vowel and consonant letters, and became the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
Modern Greek (Demotic) became the sole official language of Greece in 1976, replacing the formal Katharevousa variety, ending a diglossia that had lasted over a century.
Greek has contributed more words to the English language than any other language except Latin, particularly in scientific, medical, philosophical, and technical vocabulary.
The Greek word order is relatively flexible due to its inflectional nature, with four grammatical cases, three genders, and definite/indefinite articles.
Australia has one of the largest Greek diaspora communities in the world, with Melbourne often cited as having the largest Greek-speaking population outside Greece. Over 400,000 Australians claim Greek ancestry. Mass migration occurred in the 1950s-70s under assisted migration programs. Greek cultural life is vibrant, with Greek Orthodox churches, language schools, festivals like Antipodes, and precincts like Oakleigh in Melbourne and Marrickville in Sydney.
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to mine oil shale from which kerosene was extracted by the Australian Kerosene Oil and Mineral Co. The process was superseded by conventional kerosene production from oil and the oil shale mining became uneconomical.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.
