Each week, Kristy will share with us a Noongar word of the week!
The Noongar Nation has around 14 language dialects. And these dialects are grouped into regions. We have South Eastern, South Western and Northern.
The difference between these dialects is often at a phonemic level. That is, there may be similar words but with one or two sound differences.
