The Danish Language

• Danish is a North Germanic language spoken by about 6 million people, mainly in Denmark.
• It is closely related to Norwegian and Swedish, with which it is largely mutually intelligible.
• Danish has undergone significant pronunciation changes over the centuries, making the spoken language quite distinct from the written form.

About Runcorn

Runcorn is a suburb on the south side of Brisbane, Queensland, and is about 19 kilometres (12 mi) from Brisbane’s central business district. Beenleigh and Warrigal Roads both run through the suburb and are the primary links towards inner city Brisbane and beyond. Much of the suburb is bordered by Bulimba Creek with the secondary source for the creek found within the suburb. The Jagera Aboriginal people occupied most of the land south of the Brisbane River and Runcorn would have been in the territory of the Chepara clan of Eight Mile Plains, Queensland.

During the Second World War the area was used by the United States Army and then by the British Navy. Runcorn has two primary schools, one high school and several shopping centres. It is a very ethnically diverse area, and is also favoured by students due to its proximity to Sunnybank, and its low rental prices (compared to suburbs closer to the city). The suburb also has an electrical substation, operated by Energex, that provides power to approximately 11,000 properties in a variety of surrounding areas.
