The Czech Language
- Czech is natively known as Čeština and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, West Slavic language family.
- There are approximately 10.7 million native speakers worldwide.
- Czech is the official language of the Czech Republic and is one of the official languages of the European Union.
- The Czech diacritical system, using háček (caron) marks over consonants, was invented by the religious reformer Jan Hus in the 15th century and later influenced the orthographies of many other languages.
- Czech has one of the most complex case systems among European languages, with seven grammatical cases for nouns, adjectives, and pronouns.
- The Czech language contains the phoneme ř (voiced alveolar fricative trill), a sound extremely rare among world languages.
- Czech and Slovak are mutually intelligible to a high degree, owing to their shared history within Czechoslovakia (1918-1993) and close linguistic relationship.
- Czech migration to Australia occurred primarily after World War II and during the Cold War, particularly after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The community numbers around 20,000, with concentrations in Melbourne and Sydney. Czech Australians maintain cultural ties through Sokol gymnastics clubs, cultural associations, and periodic festivals.
About Lewisham
Lewisham is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Lewisham is located 7 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Inner West Council. The postcode is 2049. Lewisham is surrounded by the suburbs of Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Summer Hill, Haberfield and Leichhardt.
Lewisham took its name in 1834 from the estate of Joshua Frey Josephson, a German-born businessman who would later become mayor of Sydney. The estate was named after the London borough of Lewisham, which means Leofsa's village or manor.
The original residents of the Lewisham area were the Cadigal clan of the Darug tribe. Artefacts found near the Cooks River indicate at least 7,000 years of habitation in the local area. When the First Fleet arrived in 1788, the settlers set up camp in the middle of Cadigal territory. While the first governor Arthur Phillip tried to establish cordial relations with the Cadigals and their neighbours, the two groups were competing for the same food sources and tensions inevitably developed. In 1789, a smallpox epidemic wiped out the majority of the Cadigals. By 1809, all the land within Lewisham had been granted.
