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 Algester
Algester is an outer suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is 18 kilometres (11 mi) south-west of the central business district. The suburb's population was estimated in the 2011 census at 8,262. The suburbs of Algester, Calamvale and now Parkinson, sit on the southern border or boundary of the City of Brisbane local government area with suburbs of Logan City such as Browns Plains and Regents Park.
The suburb's name is a corruption of the name of the English town of "Alcester". Briefly in the mid to late 1970s the suburb was colloquially named Ridgewood Heights after the Ridgewood Heights property development that then made up most of its land area, but had officially been known as Algester from 1972. In the early 70's, Algester Road and Dalmeny Street were connected as non sealed roads and the only thoroughfare into the suburb.
Dalmeny Street ended at the first house to be built in the suburb known then as Lot 22 (now numbered as 133). These early residents were exposed to the abundance of native Australian flora and fauna, before development in the mid-1970s. Algester was heavily developed from the mid-1970s and has also seen considerable recent development. It forms part of the Brisbane Agricultural Reserve, which once covered a large area of southern Brisbane.
