The German Language
- German is natively known as Deutsch and belongs to the Indo-European, Germanic, West Germanic language family.
- There are approximately 95 million native, 130 million total speakers worldwide.
- 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 Wynnum
Wynnum is a suburb located on the shores of Moreton Bay in Brisbane, Australia, about 16 kilometres east of the CBD. Although Wynnum is situated next to the ocean, the shoreline is covered in mangroves and aromatic mudflats which makes it unsuitable for swimming at low tide. Next to the Wynnum Wading Pool which has a playground and Water Park and the Wynnum Jetty, there is a man-made beach called Pandanus Beach.
The area was sparsely settled until the arrival of the railway in the late 1880s, but then grew fairly rapidly. The former Wynnum Shire Council was created in 1902, and twelve years later Wynnum became a municipality with its own town council and the right to elect a mayor. The Town Council was absorbed into the enlarged City of Brisbane in 1925. The suburb has traditionally boasted a country town atmosphere, but new residential development is resulting in significant population growth and changing demographics. The area is now marked by a mix of character housing and modern housing.
