	Scottish Place Names in Perth, Australia
		It is interesting to note that the suburb's name was chosen in 1922 as the result of a competition for a new name for the area previously known as West Guildford.
		The origin of the name of this suburb is uncertain, being either purely descriptive of an agricultural clearing in the forest or, more likely (given its spelling), it is believed to honour John or Alexander Forrest, although their connection with the area has not been established.
		Since Robb is a Scottish family name, originating in Stirling, and the surname Smith is also common in Scotland, the chances of Hamilton Hill being a Scottish name are probably higher than it being an English one (Hamilton Hill is found in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire as well as in Scotland).

		My claim is that Slavs originally used distinct vowel letters as an orthographic device to mark a phonemic distinction on the preceding consonants (and still do) but that the use of these different vowel symbols raised their consciousness of the allophones to virtually phonemic status.
		As for the vowel names, to call them linguistic evidence of anything is akin to saying that the English sentence "The 'the' that you wrote was incorrect." proves that it is permissible to string two articles in a row in an English sentence.
		I don't have Statistics Canada's breakdown in front of me, but the english-speaking community in Quebec has shrunk by about a third in the last 20 years, and the current english-speaking population is significantly older than the rest of the Quebec or Canadian population, which in its turn suggests the decline will continue.
