The Croatian Language
- Croatian is natively known as Hrvatski jezik and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, South Slavic language family.
- There are approximately 5.6 million native speakers worldwide.
- Croatian is the official language of Croatia and one of the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union.
- Croatian uses the Latin alphabet exclusively, unlike Serbian which can use both Cyrillic and Latin, providing a key orthographic distinction between the two closely related languages.
- The Croatian literary tradition dates back to the Baska Tablet from around 1100 CE, one of the oldest surviving texts in a South Slavic language.
- Croatian has been standardised based on the Stokavian dialect with ijekavian pronunciation, and maintains a purist tradition of coining native Slavic terms rather than borrowing from other languages.
- Croatia's Dalmatian coast has influenced the language with Italian loanwords, particularly in vocabulary related to maritime life, food, and architecture.
- Croatian Australians number over 130,000 (including second generation), making Australia home to one of the largest Croatian diaspora communities. Migration began in the late 19th century with settlers from Dalmatia working in mining and fishing, with larger waves after World War II and during the Yugoslav era. Communities are strong in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Geelong.
About Stanmore
Stanmore is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia 6 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district. It is part of the local government area of Marrickville Council. Stanmore was named by a prosperous saddler, John Jones, who purchased land in 1835 where Newington College now stands and called it the Stanmore Estate.
Jones named it after his birthplace of Stanmore,now a north west suburb of London. Land in the present Stanmore area was first allocated to colonial officers by Governor Phillip between 1793 and 1810. Thomas Rowley owned Kingston Farm which occupied the eastern half of Stanmore and much of Newtown, and a portion of George Johnston's Annandale estate covered the area south of Parramatta Road containing Annandale House built in 1799 on the hill between Macaulay and Albany Roads. It was from here where Johnston marched with his troops to Castle Hill on 5 March 1804 to quell the convict revolt and where he rode on 26 January 1808 to arrest Governor Bligh during the Rum Rebellion. The first Norfolk pines on the Australian mainland were planted along the line of Percival Road, leading to Parramatta Road by Lt Colonel George Johnston.
Stanmore Road was constructed in 1835 and early development occurred in this area. In 1855, the railway divided Stanmore in to areas known as North and West Kingston north of the railway, and South Kingston south of the railway. The Kingston Farm had been sold to James Holt in 1835, and North Kingston was subdivided in 1854. South Kingston (between the railway and Stanmore Road) was slowly subdivided from 1857 with isolated large houses built between 1860 and 1870. It was not until the late 19th century that the name Stanmore came into more regular use, replacing Kingston.
