The Latvian Language
- Latvian is natively known as Latviešu valoda and belongs to the Indo-European, Balto-Slavic, Baltic, Eastern Baltic language family.
- There are approximately 1.7 million native speakers worldwide.
- Latvian is one of only two surviving Baltic languages (alongside Lithuanian), a branch of Indo-European that is among the most archaic in Europe.
- Latvian has a distinctive system of diacritical marks, using macrons (\xc4\x81, \xc4\x93, \xc4\xab, \xc5\xab) for long vowels and cedillas/commas (\xc4\xa3, \xc4\xb7, \xc4\xbc, \xc5\x86) for palatalised consonants.
- The Latvian language was a key element of the national awakening movement in the 19th century and the independence movements of 1918 and 1991.
- Latvian has preserved features of Proto-Indo-European including pitch accent (in some dialects) and a rich case system with seven cases.
- During the Soviet occupation (1940-1991), Latvian faced significant pressure from Russian, and the language's survival was a central concern of the independence movement.
- The Latvian community in Australia, numbering a few thousand, was established primarily by post-World War II displaced persons who fled Soviet occupation. Communities in Melbourne and Sydney maintained Latvian Saturday schools, churches (Lutheran), and cultural associations. The community is ageing, but renewed interest has come from a small number of post-1991 migrants.
About Crows Nest
Crows Nest is a suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Crows Nest is located 5 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of North Sydney Council. Crows Nest was originally part of a 524-acre (2.12 km2) land grant made to Edward Wollstonecraft in 1821. The grant extended from the site of the present day Crows Nest to Wollstonecraft. Edward Wollstonecraft built a cottage, the 'Crow's Nest' and, according to his business partner Alexander Berry, chose the name "on account of its elevated and commanding position". Berry later built a more substantial Crow's Nest House on the estate in 1850, taking the name of the earlier cottage. This site is now the building site of North Sydney Demonstration School and the gates of Crows Nest House (added in the 1880s) still stand at the Pacific Highway entrance to the school. Berry died at Crows Nest House on 30 November 1873. As of the 2011 Census, there were 4,048 residents in Crows Nest. 41% of people were in the 25-39 year age group, compared to 20.9% nationally. The most common ancestries in Crows Nest were English 24.2%, Australian 19.7%, Irish 9.1%, Scottish 6.8% and Chinese 4.9%. For employed people aged 15 years and over, the most common occupations included Professionals 41.6%, Managers 20.4%, Clerical and Administrative Workers 13.4%, Technicians and Trades Workers 7.6%, and Sales Workers 6.6%.
