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 Greek language is the official language of Greece (Hellas) and Cyprus. It was first spoken in Greece and was also once spoken along the coast of Asia Minor (now a part of Turkey) and in southern Italy. It was also widely used in Western Asia and Northern Africa at one time. In Greek, the language is called Ελληνικά (elliniká).
Greeks write their language using the Greek alphabet. The Latin alphabet (used to write English and many other languages) came from the Greek alphabet. Many other alphabets around the world also came from the Greek one, such as the Cyrillic alphabet.
Greek is an independent branch of the Indo-European language family. The ancient language most closely related to it may be ancient Macedonian, which many scholars suggest may have been a dialect of Greek itself, but it is so poorly attested that it is difficult to conclude anything about it. Independently of the Macedonian question, some scholars have grouped Greek into Graeco-Phrygian, as Greek and the extinct Phrygian share features that are not found in other Indo-European languages. Among living languages, some Indo-Europeanists suggest that Greek may be most closely related to Armenian (see Graeco-Armenian) or the Indo-Iranian languages (see Graeco-Aryan), but little definitive evidence has been found for grouping the living branches of the family. In addition, Albanian has also been considered somewhat related to Greek and Armenian by some linguists. If proven and recognised, the three languages would form a new Balkan sub-branch with other dead European languages.
Modern Greek inherits most of its vocabulary from Ancient Greek, which in turn is an Indo-European language, but also includes a number of borrowings from the languages of the populations that inhabited Greece before the arrival of Proto-Greeks, some documented in Mycenaean texts; they include a large number of Greek toponyms. The form and meaning of many words have evolved. Loanwords (words of foreign origin) have entered the language, mainly from Latin, Venetian, and Turkish. During the older periods of Greek, loanwords into Greek acquired Greek inflections, thus leaving only a foreign root word. Modern borrowings (from the 20th century on), especially from French and English, are typically not inflected; other modern borrowings are derived from South Slavic (Macedonian/Bulgarian) and Eastern Romance languages (Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian).

Greek Document Translation
Modern Standard Greek (Demotic) is used uniformly in official documents throughout Greece and Cyprus. However, documents from Cyprus may contain Cypriot Greek vocabulary and institutional terminology specific to that country's administrative system. Documents from the Greek diaspora in countries like Egypt, Turkey, and Australia itself may be in archaic Katharevousa (the puristic form used officially until 1976) rather than modern Demotic Greek, requiring specialist knowledge of this now-defunct formal register.
Greek Document Types
Greek civil documents include the ληξιαρχική πράξη γεννήσεως (lixiarkhiki praxi genniseos, birth certificate), ληξιαρχική πράξη γάμου (lixiarkhiki praxi gamou, marriage certificate), and άδεια οδήγησης (adeia odigisis, driving licence). Civil records are maintained by the ληξιαρχείο (lixiarkhio, civil registry) of each municipality.
Where Greek Is Official
Greek is the official language of Greece and one of two official languages of Cyprus (alongside Turkish). It is also one of the 24 official languages of the European Union. Greek has recognised minority language status in Albania, Turkey, and Italy (Calabria and Puglia). As EU member states, both Greece and Cyprus issue documents that increasingly conform to European standards, though Greek bureaucratic traditions dating to the establishment of the modern Greek state add distinctive formatting and attestation requirements.
Greek uses its own alphabet with 24 letters. The ELOT 743 standard is the official Greek romanisation system and is used on Greek passports and identity documents. However, many established romanisations of Greek names follow older conventions (e.g., Giorgos vs Georgios, Vassilis vs Vasilios), and translators must match existing passport romanisations rather than applying systematic transliteration to personal names.
