Noongar Waangkiny – A Learner’s Guide to Noongar
Click here for the Noongar Waangkiny - A Learner's Guide to Noongar
The original Learner’s Guide to Noongar was written and compiled by Lois Spehn-Jackson as part of her ongoing contribution to the Noongar Language Project as a Language Consultant.
This edition of Noongar Waangkiny – A Learner’s Guide to Noongar, has been compiled by Maree Klesch and edited by Charmaine Bennell.
The recent work of the Noongar Language Project has aimed to include examples in the three Noongar dialects where possible. This upgrading of resources to include dialects will also provided the opportunity for Noongar Waangkiny – Talking Noongar to be upgraded to include more dialect examples in the not too distant future.
