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 Hornsby
Hornsby is a suburb on the Upper North Shore of Sydney in the state of New South Wales, Australia 25 kilometres (16 mi) north-west of the Sydney central business district. It is the administrative centre of the local government area of Hornsby Shire. The name Hornsby is derived from Convict-turned-Constable Samuel Henry Horne, who took part in the apprehension of bushrangers Dalton and MacNamara on 22 June 1830. In return he was granted land which he named Hornsby Place. The first European settler in the area was Thomas Higgins, who received a grant of land in Old Mans Valley. A railway station named "Hornsby Junction" opened on 17 September 1886 to the north of the town of Hornsby, which had developed on the site of Horne's grant. It formed the junction of the Northern Line and the North Shore Line which were yet to be completed at that time. Hornsby station was one stop further south on the Northern Line. Due to confusion by commuters alighting at the incorrect station expecting to transfer to a connecting train, the old Hornsby station was renamed Normanhurst on 17 November 1898 after prominent local activist and engineer Norman Selfe, while the Hornsby Junction station assumed the current name of Hornsby.
