The Greek Language
- Greek is natively known as Ελληνικά and belongs to the Indo-European, Hellenic language family.
- There are approximately 13.5 million native speakers worldwide.
- Greek has the longest documented history of any living Indo-European language, with written records spanning over 3,400 years from the Mycenaean era to the present.
- The Greek alphabet, developed around 800 BCE, was the first to include separate vowel and consonant letters, and became the ancestor of the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
- Modern Greek (Demotic) became the sole official language of Greece in 1976, replacing the formal Katharevousa variety, ending a diglossia that had lasted over a century.
- Greek has contributed more words to the English language than any other language except Latin, particularly in scientific, medical, philosophical, and technical vocabulary.
- The Greek word order is relatively flexible due to its inflectional nature, with four grammatical cases, three genders, and definite/indefinite articles.
- Australia has one of the largest Greek diaspora communities in the world, with Melbourne often cited as having the largest Greek-speaking population outside Greece. Over 400,000 Australians claim Greek ancestry. Mass migration occurred in the 1950s-70s under assisted migration programs. Greek cultural life is vibrant, with Greek Orthodox churches, language schools, festivals like Antipodes, and precincts like Oakleigh in Melbourne and Marrickville in Sydney.
About Stanmore
Stanmore is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia 6 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district. It is part of the local government area of Marrickville Council. Stanmore was named by a prosperous saddler, John Jones, who purchased land in 1835 where Newington College now stands and called it the Stanmore Estate.
Jones named it after his birthplace of Stanmore,now a north west suburb of London. Land in the present Stanmore area was first allocated to colonial officers by Governor Phillip between 1793 and 1810. Thomas Rowley owned Kingston Farm which occupied the eastern half of Stanmore and much of Newtown, and a portion of George Johnston's Annandale estate covered the area south of Parramatta Road containing Annandale House built in 1799 on the hill between Macaulay and Albany Roads. It was from here where Johnston marched with his troops to Castle Hill on 5 March 1804 to quell the convict revolt and where he rode on 26 January 1808 to arrest Governor Bligh during the Rum Rebellion. The first Norfolk pines on the Australian mainland were planted along the line of Percival Road, leading to Parramatta Road by Lt Colonel George Johnston.
Stanmore Road was constructed in 1835 and early development occurred in this area. In 1855, the railway divided Stanmore in to areas known as North and West Kingston north of the railway, and South Kingston south of the railway. The Kingston Farm had been sold to James Holt in 1835, and North Kingston was subdivided in 1854. South Kingston (between the railway and Stanmore Road) was slowly subdivided from 1857 with isolated large houses built between 1860 and 1870. It was not until the late 19th century that the name Stanmore came into more regular use, replacing Kingston.
