City of Joondalup
The City of Joondalup is a local government area with City status in Perth, Western Australia. It covers the metropolitan Perth city of Joondalup in its entirety, as well as the town centres of Hillarys and Warwick.
City of Joondalup History
Prior to the 1970s, the region now known as the City of Joondalup was sparsely populated. During the 1980s and 1990s, massive growth occurred, partly due to State Government policies which made Joondalup a regional centre, including the extension of the Mitchell Freeway and the construction of the Joondalup railway line.
Until 1998, the area had been controlled by the City of Wanneroo and its predecessors. An independent commission suggested the creation of Joondalup out of the coastal areas of Wanneroo, and the City of Joondalup came into existence on 1 July 1998.

The Finnish language is a Finno-Ugric language, a group of languages belonging to the Uralic language family. It is one of the two official languages of Finland. It is also an official minority language in Sweden.
Finnish is one of the four national languages of Europe that is not an Indo-European language. The other three are Estonian and Hungarian, which are also Uralic languages, and Basque.
In the 19th century Johan Vilhelm Snellman and others began to stress the need to improve the status of Finnish. Ever since the days of Mikael Agricola, written Finnish had been used almost exclusively in religious contexts, but now Snellman's Hegelian nationalistic ideas of Finnish as a fully-fledged national language gained considerable support. Concerted efforts were made to improve the status of the language and to modernize it, and by the end of the century Finnish had become a language of administration, journalism, literature, and science in Finland, along with Swedish.
The most important contributions to improving the status of Finnish were made by Elias Lönnrot. His impact on the development of modern vocabulary in Finnish was particularly important. In addition to compiling the Kalevala, he acted as an arbiter in disputes about the development of standard Finnish between the proponents of western and eastern dialects, ensuring that the western dialects Agricola had preferred preserved their preeminent role, while many originally dialect words from Eastern Finland were introduced to the standard language, enriching it considerably. The first novel written in Finnish (and by a Finnish speaker) was Seven Brothers (Seitsemän veljestä), published by Aleksis Kivi in 1870.

Finnish Document Translation
Finnish has considerable dialectal diversity across Western and Eastern dialect groups, but official documents uniformly use standard Finnish (yleiskieli) based on a blend of both groups. Finland is officially bilingual, and documents from certain municipalities — particularly along the western and southern coasts — may be issued in Swedish or in bilingual Finnish-Swedish format. Translators must identify the source language correctly when handling bilingual Finnish documents.
Finnish Document Types
Finnish civil documents include the syntymätodistus (birth certificate), avioliittotodistus (marriage certificate), and ajokortti (driving licence). Population records are maintained by the Digi- ja väestötietovirasto (Digital and Population Data Services Agency), which replaced the former church-based population registration system.
Where Finnish Is Official
Finnish is one of two official languages of Finland, alongside Swedish. It is also an official language of the European Union and a recognised minority language in Sweden, Norway, and Russia (Karelia). Finland's bilingual status means official documents may be issued in either Finnish or Swedish depending on the municipality's language status. The Sami languages also have official status in designated Sami homeland municipalities in northern Finland.
Finnish uses the Latin alphabet with the additional characters ä and ö, which are considered separate letters positioned at the end of the alphabet, not variants of a and o. Double vowels and double consonants are phonemically significant in Finnish — tuli (fire), tuuli (wind), and tulli (customs) are entirely different words. This precision must be maintained in all translated personal and place names.
