The Italian Language
- Italian is natively known as Italiano and belongs to the Indo-European, Romance, Italo-Dalmatian language family.
- There are approximately 67 million native speakers worldwide.
- Italian is based on the Tuscan dialect, largely thanks to the literary prestige of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, whose works established Tuscan as the literary standard centuries before Italian unification in 1861.
- Italy has extraordinary linguistic diversity, with dozens of regional languages and dialects (Sicilian, Neapolitan, Venetian, Sardinian, etc.) that are often not mutually intelligible with standard Italian.
- Italian is an official language of Italy, Switzerland (Ticino and Grisons cantons), San Marino, and Vatican City, and is a working language of the European Union.
- The Italian language has contributed extensively to English vocabulary, particularly in music (piano, forte, soprano), food (pizza, pasta, espresso), and architecture (cupola, balcony, portico).
- Italian has a remarkably phonetic spelling system, where words are generally pronounced exactly as written, with very few exceptions.
- Italian Australians are one of the largest and most established migrant communities, with over one million Australians claiming Italian ancestry. Mass migration occurred from the 1950s to 1970s under assisted migration schemes. Communities are prominent in Melbourne (Carlton, Brunswick, Northcote), Sydney (Leichhardt, Haberfield, Five Dock), and Adelaide. Italian clubs, churches, and festivals (e.g., Lygon Street Festa) remain important cultural institutions.
About Forest Lake
Forest Lake was the first Master Planned Community within the municipality of Brisbane, Queensland. It has won numerous awards for its design and had a population of 20,900 residents, as of February 2006. Delfin, the developer of Forest Lake, was absorbed into Lend Lease in 2001.
Now operating as Delfin Lend Lease, they are developing the adjacent Springfield Lakes Master Planned Community. Forest Lake was considered instrumental in the creation of affordable housing within Australia. The development was the first modern day community to contain small lot product, a first during its time. The master planned community contained retail, commercial, educational, residential, retirement, and recreational uses. The entire community is linked by an extensive network of pedestrian and cycle paths, which are integrated into the large open space network.
Forest Lake lies within the Brisbane City Council municipality and is approximately 19 km from the Brisbane central business district. It adjoins the suburbs of Doolandella, Inala, Park Ridge and Algester. It successfully mixes wildlife with residential development.
