Download or read book A Nyoongar Wordlist written by Peter Bindon and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Nyoongar Wordlist brings together in a single volume several separately published word lists for South-West Australian Aboriginal languages and dialects. Commonly these are now known collectively as 'Nyoongar', which, except for some individual words and short phrases still used in daily conversation, is largely unused. However true this may be for the whole language, there remain several hundred Nyoongar words which are preserved as place names throughout the South-West. As development advances and map revision and editing proceed, it is likely that more Nyoongar words will be used as place names and will be added to various maps of the region. Readers will also find clues to the meaning of geographical and place names throughout WA's South-West.

The cover shows the two moieties of the Noongar Nation; Waardong (Australian Raven) and Manatj (Western Long-billed Corella), representing Noongar people standing together to revive their language and culture. Djerap is the largest collect of Noongar birds in one publication with 198 birds listed. The book includes of a very detailed word list in the three dialects, support for the Languages other than English program and many other terms related to birds, their habitats and their life cycles. Djerap is organised into four sections reflecting habitats in the south-west of WA; Balyan-boodja (Wetlands), Moondak (Forest), Waaloo (Open Country) and Maambakoort-ngat (Coastal).
