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 Tia
Tia, (pronounced ‘tie ah’) is a settlement and parish located approximately 30 kilometres east of Walcha, on the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. Tia River Station was first settled by Richard and William Denne in 1840, then comprising an area of 100 square miles (260 km2). It was later purchased by Augustus Hooke in 1882. It was on this station that Blue Spec, a brown stallion foaled in 1899, was bred and who later won the Kalgoorlie Cup, Perth Cup and the 1905 Melbourne Cup in record time. The first gold mining activity was recorded at Tia in l866. In 1873 a reef was discovered at McLeod’s Creek, when a rush occurred.
