The Albanian Language
- Albanian is natively known as Shqip and belongs to the Indo-European, Albanian language family.
- There are approximately 7.5 million native speakers worldwide.
- Albanian forms its own independent branch of the Indo-European language family, with no close living relatives.
- The language has two main dialect groups: Gheg in the north and Tosk in the south, with Standard Albanian based on Tosk.
- Albanian has preserved many ancient Indo-European features that other languages have lost, making it invaluable for historical linguistics.
- The Albanian alphabet was standardised in 1908 at the Congress of Monastir and contains 36 letters, including nine digraphs.
- Albanian has a rich system of verb moods, including an admirative mood used to express surprise, which is rare among European languages.
- Albanian migration to Australia began in the early 20th century, with larger waves arriving after World War II and during the Kosovo crisis in the late 1990s. Communities are concentrated in Melbourne and Sydney, with active cultural associations preserving Albanian heritage.
About St Ives
St Ives is a suburb on the Upper North Shore of Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia 18 kilometres north of the Sydney Central Business District in the local government area of Ku-ring-gai Council. St Ives Chase is a separate suburb, to the north.
The St Ives area was first explored by Governor Arthur Phillip and a party of men in 1788 where they set up a campsite at Bungaroo which is close to what is now Hunter Avenue. The area produced a small scale timber felling industry. There are still some examples of the thirty metre and higher trees in nearby Pymble in the Dalrymple Hay forest and near Canasius College. Native turpentine trees were also once abundant and provided useful timber for cabinet making. It was once known for its apple orchards but due to residential demand, there is no longer any commercial fruit growing in the area. During World War Two there were significant numbers of troops barracked in the area, which provided the impetus to build Archbold Road as a supplementary and emergency route to the city.
Since 1950 the suburb has expanded from the central shopping areas and the arterial main roads to include hilltop and valley areas bordering on the surrounding Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the north, now the area known as St Ives Chase, and Garigal National Park to the east and the south east. St Ives Post Office opened on 10 November 1885 and the first public school opened on 6 May 1889. The school was formally opened by Mr. J. P. Burns, M.L.A. on Saturday 8 June. After inspecting the "neat and well-designed school and teacher's residence" the party had a luncheon to mark the occasion.
