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 Pinkenba
Pinkenba is the name of a suburb in eastern Brisbane on the northern side of the Brisbane River, 10 kilometres from the Brisbane central business district. The area is spatially isolated from other residential suburbs and is surrounded by the Brisbane Airport to the north and west, and industrial land and the bank of the Brisbane River to the south. Pinkenba recorded a population of 350 people at the 2011 Australian Census. Numerous development projects have been proposed for the area, including residential developments and an immigration detention centre, but nothing has progressed. The suburb contains a small number of detached houses (primarily of weatherboard construction), a primary school, local store, pub and industrial precincts. The suburb is accessed by road via Kingsford Smith Drive which passes an industrial area before reaching the suburb. Pinkenba is also the site of the now-abandoned Pinkenba railway station. The station opened in 1882 and closed in 1993. The branch line to Pinkenba was constructed so as to encourage port development downstream away from the Brisbane central business district.
