Basic Noongar Language "Noongar Kaadadjiny - Marlak wer Bilya"

This booklet will provide an introduction to basic Noongar words and how to say, read and write sentences in Noongar language. Some of these words you may already know. Some of these words may be a little different to the words that you know. The way that we pronounce or spell words in Noongar can differ from region to region, as there were many different dialects within our Noongar region.

This booklet is based on the Marlak (bush) and Bilya (river).

Features of this themed booklet include:

• word list in Noongar and English translations.
• Sentence structure and order instructions.
• Match the word to the picture.
• Unjumble the syllables then match the word to the picture.
• Fill in the word shapes.
• Word sleuth.
• Crossword.
• Make your own sentences worksheets.
• Additional word lists in Noongar and English translations by themes.

Stay tuned for more themed booklets to come and I hope you enjoy my workbooks.

I would also like to acknowledge the past and present language speakers who work tirelessly to document, educate and revive our Noongar language within the education department, schools and the wider community.
