City of Wanneroo
The City of Wanneroo is a local government area with city status in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. It is centred approximately 25 kilometres (15.5 mi) north of Perth's central business district and forms part of the northern boundary of the Perth metropolitan area.
City of Wanneroo History
Prior to 1902, Wanneroo was part of the Perth Road District, which eventually went on to become the City of Stirling. Wanneroo was established on 31 October 1902 as a road board under the Roads Act 1888. The board was named after the Wanneroo wetlands in the area, first explored and recorded by John Butler in 1834.
With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all road boards became shires effective from 1 July 1961, and the Shire of Wanneroo came into being, encompassing everything north of Beach Road and west of Alexander Drive. With the development of and subsequent population growth surrounding Joondalup, the Shire of Wanneroo attained City status on 31 October 1985.

Croatian is the standardized variety of the Serbo-Croatian language used by Croats, principally in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian province of Vojvodina and other neighboring countries. Croatian is one of the official languages of the European Union, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Standard Croatian is based on the most widespread dialect of Serbo-Croatian, Shtokavian, more specifically on Eastern Herzegovinian, which is also the basis of Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin.
Croatian, although technically a form of Serbo-Croatian, is sometimes considered a distinct language by itself. Purely linguistic considerations of languages based on mutual intelligibility (abstand languages) are frequently incompatible with political conceptions of language so that varieties that are mutually intelligible can not be considered separate languages. Differences between various standard forms of Serbo-Croatian are often exaggerated for political reasons. Most Croatian linguists regard Croatian as a separate language that is considered key to national identity. The issue is sensitive in Croatia as the notion of a separate language being the most important characteristic of a nation is widely accepted, stemming from the 19th-century history of Europe. The 1967 Declaration on the Status and Name of the Croatian Literary Language, in which a group of Croatian authors and linguists demanded greater autonomy for the Croatian language, is viewed in Croatia as a linguistic policy milestone that was also a general milestone in national politics. At the 50th anniversary of the Declaration, at the beginning of 2017, a two-day meeting of experts from Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro was organized in Zagreb, at which the text of the Declaration on the Common Language of Croats, Bosniaks, Serbs and Montenegrins was drafted. The new Declaration has received more than ten thousand signatures. It states that in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro a common polycentric standard language is used, consisting of several standard varieties, such as German, English or Spanish. The aim of the new Declaration is to stimulate discussion on language without the nationalistic baggage and to counter nationalistic divisions.
The terms "Serbo-Croatian" or "Serbo-Croat" are still used as a cover term for all these forms by foreign scholars, even though the speakers themselves largely do not use it. Within ex-Yugoslavia, the term has largely been replaced by the ethnic terms Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian.

Croatian Document Translation
Standard Croatian is based on the Shtokavian dialect with ijekavian pronunciation, though Chakavian and Kajkavian dialects are spoken in coastal and northwestern regions respectively. Official documents uniformly use the literary standard regardless of region. Since Croatia's EU accession in 2013, document formats have increasingly aligned with European standards, though older documents from the Yugoslav era use different formatting and terminology that translators must recognise.
Croatian Document Types
Croatian civil documents include the rodni list (birth certificate), vjenčani list (marriage certificate), and vozačka dozvola (driving licence). Civil registry documents are issued by the matični ured (registry office) and may carry the heading Izvadak iz matice rođenih (extract from the birth register).
Where Croatian Is Official
Croatian is the official language of Croatia and one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It became the 24th official language of the European Union upon Croatia's accession in 2013. Croatian documents now follow EU formatting standards for many document types, including driving licences and professional qualifications. It is also used by Croatian minority communities in Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Serbia.
Croatian uses the Latin alphabet exclusively, with the addition of the characters č, ć, dž, đ, š, and ž. These diacritical marks are essential for correct meaning and must be preserved in translations. Croatian also uses the digraphs lj and nj, each representing a single phoneme, which affects alphabetical ordering in official listings.
