Noongar (also called Nyungar) is an Indigenous Australian language spoken by some people in the Noongar community in Australia. It is taught in schools, universities, and on public radio and TV in Australia.[1][2] The Noongar people live in the southwest part of Western Australia. Many Noongar words, especially names of plants and animals, are used in Australian English.[3]

The Noongar language was first written down in 1801 by Matthew Flinders, who made lists of words.[4]
