The Estonian Language
- Estonian is natively known as Eesti keel and belongs to the Uralic, Finnic language family.
- There are approximately 1.1 million native speakers worldwide.
- Estonian is a Finno-Ugric language closely related to Finnish, and is one of the few official EU languages that is not part of the Indo-European language family.
- Estonian has 14 grammatical cases for nouns, making it one of the most complex case systems in European languages.
- The language distinguishes three degrees of consonant and vowel length (short, long, and overlong), a feature rare among world languages.
- Estonian has no grammatical gender and no future tense; future meaning is conveyed through context and adverbs.
- Estonia has one of the highest literacy rates in the world (99.8%), and the Estonian language has been a cornerstone of national identity through centuries of foreign rule by Danes, Germans, Swedes, and Russians.
- Estonian migration to Australia was predominantly post-World War II, when several thousand Estonians fled Soviet occupation. The community, numbering around 6,000, is concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne, with active Estonian Houses (Eesti Maja) serving as cultural and social centres. The community maintains strong ties to Estonia, which regained independence in 1991.
About Taigum
Taigum is a northern suburb of Brisbane in Queensland in Australia. It is about 13 kilometres north of the Brisbane central business district|CBD. It is predominantly a residential area. The suburb contains a Centro shopping centre, which is similar to another shopping centre in Victoria Point, both of which opened in late 2003. The Taigum area was first developed around 1891, as part of a subdivision of the Nundah Divisional board.
In 1901, it was suggested, unsuccessfully, by the board that the name be changed to "Tyghum Divisional Board". Over 38% of households in this area are couples with children, 40% are of couples without children and 18% are single parent households. Over 61% of residential development are houses and another 25% are townhouses. Taigum/taigam is from Yuggera language, Turrbal dialect indicating lawyer vine (Calamus) found growing in the area.
