The Icelandic Language
- Icelandic is natively known as Íslenska and belongs to the Indo-European, Germanic, North Germanic language family.
- There are approximately 360,000 native speakers worldwide.
- Icelandic has changed remarkably little since medieval times, allowing modern Icelanders to read the Old Norse sagas written 800 years ago with relative ease.
- Iceland has a strong tradition of linguistic purism, coining new Icelandic words for modern concepts rather than borrowing from English (e.g., "t\xc3\xb6lva" for computer, from "t\xc3\xb6lu" meaning number and "v\xc3\xb6lva" meaning prophetess).
- Icelandic retains the Old Norse letters thorn (\xc3\x9e/\xc3\xbe) and eth (\xc3\x90/\xc3\xb0), which were once used in English but disappeared after the Norman Conquest.
- The Icelandic naming system is patronymic (or matronymic), where children take their father's (or mother's) first name plus "-son" or "-d\xc3\xb3ttir" rather than a hereditary surname.
- Despite its small population, Iceland has one of the highest literacy rates and per capita book publishing rates in the world.
- The Icelandic community in Australia is very small, numbering only a few hundred people. Most Icelandic speakers in Australia are temporary residents, students, or working holiday visa holders rather than permanent migrants. There is no significant Icelandic community infrastructure in Australia.
About Nundah
Nundah (previously called German Station) is an inner suburb in the city of Brisbane, Australia, approximately 8 kilometres north-east of the Brisbane central business district, in the local government area of the City of Brisbane. Prior to European settlement, Nundah was inhabited by Aboriginal people from the Turrbul tribe. Nundah is primarily a residential suburb, which straddles Sandgate Road, one of the major arterial roads of Brisbane's north. It was first settled by Europeans in the mid-19th century, although the suburb remained primarily a rural area until it was connected to Brisbane via railway in the 1880s. Originally considered a working-class suburb, the area has become gentrified in recent years, and today features a mix of traditional worker's cottages and modern high-density apartment blocks. It is close to the Centro Shopping Centre. The name "Nundah" means "chain of water holes" in the local Aboriginal dialect. This name is probably a reference to the nearby natural water sources at Kedron Brook and the marshy areas formerly to the east of the suburb. Nundah is a mixed-density residential suburb, with some light industry and a commercial retail area concentrated on Sandgate Road. It is adjacent to the suburbs of Clayfield, Northgate and Wavell Heights, and is dominated by a large ridge that runs from the northwest to the southeast. The "Nundah Village" shopping district and Nundah State School are on this ridge, while the Nundah Tunnel bisects it along Sandgate Road.
