City of South Perth
The City of South Perth is a local government area in the inner southern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 19.9 square kilometres (7.7 sq mi), maintains 203 kilometres (126 mi) of roads and a little over 4.3 km² of parks and gardens, and had a population of about 42,000 at the 2016 Census.
City of South Perth History
The South Perth Road District was formed on 9 June 1892 and the district became a municipality on 21 February 1902. It then reverted to a road district on 1 March 1922, but regained municipality status on 1 March 1956. It was granted city status on 1 July 1959.
In 2014, the WA State Government mounted a proposal for local government reform; the City of South Perth was proposed to be amalgamated with the Town of Victoria Park, together with a sizable portion of the City of Canning. A poll took place during January–February 2015, with the question: "Should the City of South Perth and the Town of Victoria Park be abolished and amalgamated to form a new local government?". The informally (non-binding) suggested name for the new entity was 'City of South Park'.

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.
