 The Noongar language subgroup, and its individual varieties, before contact with Europeans | |
Noongar (/ˈnʊŋɑːr/), also Nyungar (/ˈnjʊŋɡɑːr/[a]), is an Australian Aboriginal language or dialect continuum, spoken by some members of the Noongar community and others. It is taught actively in Australia, including at schools, universities and through public broadcasting.[5][6] The country of the Noongar people is the southwest corner of Western Australia. Within that region, many Noongar words have been adopted into English, particularly names of plants and animals.[7]
Noongar was first recorded in 1801 by Matthew Flinders, who made a number of word lists.[8]
