The Icelandic Language
- Icelandic is natively known as Íslenska and belongs to the Indo-European, Germanic, North Germanic language family.
- There are approximately 360,000 native speakers worldwide.
- Icelandic has changed remarkably little since medieval times, allowing modern Icelanders to read the Old Norse sagas written 800 years ago with relative ease.
- Iceland has a strong tradition of linguistic purism, coining new Icelandic words for modern concepts rather than borrowing from English (e.g., "t\xc3\xb6lva" for computer, from "t\xc3\xb6lu" meaning number and "v\xc3\xb6lva" meaning prophetess).
- Icelandic retains the Old Norse letters thorn (\xc3\x9e/\xc3\xbe) and eth (\xc3\x90/\xc3\xb0), which were once used in English but disappeared after the Norman Conquest.
- The Icelandic naming system is patronymic (or matronymic), where children take their father's (or mother's) first name plus "-son" or "-d\xc3\xb3ttir" rather than a hereditary surname.
- Despite its small population, Iceland has one of the highest literacy rates and per capita book publishing rates in the world.
- The Icelandic community in Australia is very small, numbering only a few hundred people. Most Icelandic speakers in Australia are temporary residents, students, or working holiday visa holders rather than permanent migrants. There is no significant Icelandic community infrastructure in Australia.
About Woollahra
Woollahra is a suburb in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Woollahra is located 5 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Woollahra. The Municipality of Woollahra takes its name from the suburb but its administrative centre is located in Double Bay. Woollahra is famous for its quiet, tree-lined residential streets and village-style shopping centre.
Woollahra is an Aboriginal word meaning camp or meeting ground or a sitting down place. It was adopted by Daniel Cooper (1821–1902), the first speaker of the legislative assembly of New South Wales, when he laid the foundations of Woollahra House in 1856. It was built on the site of the old Henrietta Villa (or Point Piper House). Cooper and his descendants were responsible for the establishment and progress of the suburb and its name was taken from the house.
Woollahra was the home of John McGarvie Smith, a metallurgist and biochemist who produced the first preservable anthrax vaccine.
