This is an incomplete list of Historic houses in South Australia. A
historic house can be a stately home, the birthplace of a famous
person, or a house with an interesting history or architecture.
Houses were first thought of as historic rather than just old or
interesting, during the early 19th century. Government protection
was first given during the late 19th century. Historic homes are
often eligible for special grant awards for preservation. What
makes a historic home significant is often its architecture or its
significance to the culture or history of an area.

Guinea-Bissau Creole is the lingua franca of the West African
country of Guinea Bissau. It is a Portuguese-based creole language,
closely related to Cape Verdean creole. Kriolu is spoken as a first
language by approximately 15% of Bissau-Guineans, and as a second
language by approximately 46%; it is also spoken in parts of
Senegal, primarily as a trade language. Portuguese itself is the
official language of Guinea Bissau, although it is not spoken
regularly by a majority of the population. Upper Guinea creoles are
the oldest Portuguese-based creoles, first appearing around the
Portuguese settlements along the northwest coast of Africa.
Bissau-Guinean Creole is therefore among the first Portuguese
Creoles. Portuguese merchants and settlers started to mix with
locals almost immediately; this became a rule among Portuguese
explorers and the main reason for the large number of Portuguese
Creoles throughout the world.

Gender identity refers to a person's private sense of, and
subjective experience of, their own gender. All societies have a
set of gender categories that can serve as the basis of the
formation of a social identity in relation to other members of
society. In most societies, there is a basic division between
gender attributes assigned to males and females. In all societies,
however, some individuals do not identify with some (or all) of the
aspects of gender that are assigned to their biological sex.
