- German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and an official language of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
- German is famous for its compound words, which can be of unlimited length; the longest word ever used in a law was Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz (beef labelling supervision delegation law).
- There are significant differences between Standard German (Hochdeutsch), Austrian German, and Swiss German, each with distinct vocabulary, pronunciation, and conventions.
- German was the dominant language of science and philosophy until the mid-20th century, and many scientific terms remain German (Kindergarten, Zeitgeist, Angst, Wanderlust).
- The German spelling reform of 1996 (Rechtschreibreform) introduced significant changes to orthography, meaning pre-1996 and post-1996 documents may use different spellings.
- German migration to Australia is one of the oldest and largest non-English-speaking migration streams, dating back to the 1830s. Over 100,000 German-born residents live in Australia, with many more of German descent. The Barossa Valley in South Australia retains strong German heritage. Post-WWII migration was significant, and German clubs (Concordia, Tivoli) operate across the country.
About Lane Cove
Lane Cove is a suburb on the Lower North Shore of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Lane Cove is nine kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district and is the administrative centre for the local government area of the Municipality of Lane Cove. Lane Cove West and Lane Cove North are separate suburbs. Lane Cove occupies a peninsula on the northern side of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour), at the opening of the Lane Cove River.
There are a number of possibilities of the origin of the name 'Lane Cove'. The first written use of the name was by Lieutenant William Bradley after he had just sailed along the river in 1788. Some have argued that the it was named after Lieutenant Michael Lane, a respected cartographer, who had once worked with Captain Cook. Others say that it was in honour of John Lane, who was the son of the London Lord Mayor at the time as well as a good friend of the first Governor, Arthur Phillip. In any case, the name stuck, and by the 1800s was being used to refer to all the land north of the river.
