The Slovak Language
- Slovak is natively known as Slovenčina and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, West Slavic language family.
- There are approximately 5.2 million native speakers worldwide.
- Slovak is the official language of Slovakia and is mutually intelligible to a high degree with Czech, though the two have been separate standard languages since the 19th century.
- Slovak has three grammatical genders, six cases, and preserves a number of features from Old Church Slavonic.
- The Slovak language played a central role in the Slovak national revival of the 19th century, when \xc4\xbdudov\xc3\xadt \xc5\xa0t\xc3\xbar standardised the modern literary language.
- Slovakia has a strong tradition of folk culture and the Slovak language has many dialect variations, broadly divided into western, central, and eastern groups.
- Slovak uses a rhythmic rule (rhythmick\xc3\xbd z\xc3\xa1kon) that prevents two long syllables from appearing in sequence, a feature unique among Slavic languages.
- The Slovak community in Australia is small, with several thousand Slovak-born residents. Historical migration included post-WWII displaced persons and refugees after the 1968 Prague Spring. Many early migrants were recorded as Czechoslovak. Communities exist in Melbourne and Sydney with active Slovak social clubs and cultural organisations.
About Sylvania
Sylvania is a suburb, in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 22 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district in the Sutherland Shire. Sylvania is mostly residential but also contains areas of native bushland and some commercial developments on the Princes Highway and Port Hacking Road. Sylvania Heights is a locality in the western part of the suburb. Sylvania Waters and Kangaroo Point share the same postcode (2224).
The traditional owners of Sylvania are the Dharawal Aboriginal people and their archaeological heritage is evident in a number of registered middens, burial and art sites in rockshelters on the Georges River. After European settlement, this land was acquired by John Connell Laycock as a Crown grant. Thomas Holt (after whom Holt Road is named), a prominent landowner, financier and politician, acquired it a few years later as part of the Holt-Sutherland Estate, some 13,000 acres (53 km2). The name of the suburb clearly relates to its original wooded vegetation (‘sylvan’ which means wooded or inhabiting the woods).
The native vegetation of the suburb is now fast disappearing, as a result of increased development. Thomas Holt built Sutherland House on the foreshore of Gwawley Bay in 1818, on the eastern side of Sylvania. He established the Sutherland Estate Company in 1881 and a village grew here, with a post office opening in 1883. The school opened in 1884 but closed in 1891 and was not reopened until 1925. Sylvania Heights Public School opened in 1955.
