The Finnish Language
- Finnish is natively known as Suomi and belongs to the Uralic, Finnic language family.
- There are approximately 5.8 million native speakers worldwide.
- Finnish is one of the two official languages of Finland (alongside Swedish) and is one of the few non-Indo-European languages in the European Union.
- Finnish has 15 grammatical cases, extensive agglutination (words built by adding suffixes), and vowel harmony, making it notably different from most European languages.
- The longest Finnish word in everyday use is often cited as epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän, demonstrating the language's agglutinative nature.
- Finnish is remarkably phonetic; words are pronounced exactly as they are written, with each letter having a single consistent sound.
- The Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, compiled by Elias Lonnrot in 1835, was a major inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien in creating his Elvish languages.
- Finnish migration to Australia has been modest, with small communities established since the gold rush era and post-World War II. The Finnish-born population numbers around 5,000, with communities in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Finnish clubs and saunas serve as social gathering points, and the community celebrates Finnish traditions such as Midsummer (Juhannus).
About Yalwal
Yalwal is the site of a former gold mining town of the same name situated 29 km (18 mi) west of Nowra at the confluence of the Dangera and Yarramunmun Creeks which then forms Yalwal Creek which flows into the Shoalhaven River. It is now the site of a City of Shoalhaven managed picnic area and Dangera Dam. Prior to European settlement this was Wandandian Aboriginal land. Gold was first discovered in the area by Rev W.B. Clarke in 1852.
Successful sluicing operations began in 1870 by J. Sivewright and party but were disrupted by the great flood of 1871. In 1872 open cut mining operations were begun at the Pinnacle when the main reef was discovered. The first shafts were sunk in the Homeward Bound mine in 1872 with payable gold found in 1874. In 1875 the first stamp battery (5 head) was erected. In 1880 a mail receiving station was opened and in 1884 a public school opened, it closed in 1918, reopened in 1924 and finally closed in 1928.
