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 Camden
Camden is a historic town of the Macarthur Region of Sydney, Australia. Camden is 65 kilometres south-west of the city's central business district and is the administrative centre for the local government area of Camden Council. It lies on the fringe of the Sydney metropolitan area and is close to the suburb of Campbelltown. The area now known as Camden was originally at the northern edge of land belonging to the Gandangara people of the Southern Highlands who called it Benkennie meaning 'dry land'. North of the Nepean River were the Muringong, southernmost of the Darug people while to the east were the Tharawal people. They lived in extended family groups of 20–40 members, hunting kangaroos, possums and eels and gathering yams and other seasonal fruit and vegetables from the local area. They were described as 'short, stocky, strong and superbly built' and generally considered peaceful. However, as British settlers encroached on their land and reduced their food sources, they turned to armed resistance which ended in 1816 after many of their number were massacred . Explorers first visited the area in 1795 and named it 'Cowpastures' after a herd of cattle that had disappeared was discovered there. In February 1805, Governor King instructed (apparently reluctantly) a surveyor to measure 5,000 acres (20 km²) for John Macarthur at Cowpastures, where Macarthur had been promised land by the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Lord Camden. Macarthur named his property Camden Park in honour of his sponsor.
