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 Waterloo
Waterloo is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Waterloo is located 4 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney. Waterloo took its name from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when Allied and Prussian forces under the Duke of Wellington and Blücher defeated the French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte.
In the 1820s Waterloo began supporting industrial operations including the Fisher and Duncan Paper Mill and the Waterloo Flour Mills owned by William Hutchinson and Daniel Cooper. William Hutchinson, superindendent of convicts and public works, had been granted 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) of land in 1823. He sold Waterloo Farm to Daniel Cooper (1785-1853) and Solomon Levey (1794-1833). Cooper later bought out Levey's share and on his death the Waterloo Estate passed onto his son, also named Daniel Cooper, who was the first speaker of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.
