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 Banksia
Banksia is a suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Banksia is located 12 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Rockdale and is part of the St George area. Banksia is named for Joseph Banks, a botanist on the Voyage of Discovery of James Cook which visited the nearby Botany Bay in 1770. The suburb was part of land owned by Simeon Pearce (1821–86) and his brother James Pearce in the 1850s, which extended from Rockdale to Brighton-Le-Sands. Until the late nineteenth century, the area was heavily timbered but residential development began in the 1880s. One of the leading developers was Frederick Jamison Gibbes, a Member of Parliament, after whom Gibbes Street in the suburb is named. The area developed more rapidly after the railway station opened on 21 October 1906. Many names for the suburb were suggested but the final choice came from Charles Stead, father of novelist Christina Stead. The post office opened in August 1924.
